A Hong Kong man has recently arrived in the UK seeking refugee asylum, claiming to have faced threats from Hong Kong’s national security and police forces, who coerced him to testify in court against former pro-democracy legislator Lam Cheuk-ting, who is currently facing allegations of participating in riots.
The case traces back to the well-known 2019 Yuen Long attack, also known as the “7.21 incident,” During this incident, a large group of individuals donned white clothes and conducted a brutal assault on citizens. The Hong Kong police attempted to characterize the incident as clashes between two opposing groups, igniting controversy. The fallout led to charges being levied against Mr. Lam, a former Democratic Party legislator, for his alleged involvement in a riot.
