Description
Hong Kong authorities demand at a press conference that democracy activist Tony Chung return to finish serving time in prison after fleeing to Britain. Leung Kin-ip, deputy commissioner of Hong Kong's correctional services, condemns Chung for "evading responsibility and blatantly endangering national security". In 2021, Chung, then 20, became the youngest person to be imprisoned under Hong Kong's national security law -- imposed by Beijing after massive pro-democracy protests kicked off in 2019 in the former British colony. He pleaded guilty to "secession" and was sentenced to three and a half years in prison. Since his early release in June, Chung has said he has lived in daily fear. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
