Hong Kong lawmaker and pro-democracy activist Ted Hui has been granted a travel exemption by the Australian government to visit the country as part of a global tour to garner support for firmer action against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

The former legislator arrived early on Tuesday after flying from Europe, where he has spent the past three months touring the continent, speaking to top legislators on Hong Kong’s freedoms.
