Hong Kong govt, condemning Agnes Chow in going into exile in Canada, stressed it will “spare no effort in bringing her to justice in accordance with the law.”

The repentance letter, the forced propaganda trip, the screening of her MA curriculum… everything about Chow's ordeal sounds so arbitrary and extralegal. Obviously courts can impose conditions to prevent one from jumping bail while overseas but none of these are normal — right? https://t.co/DmUdezBI1u

Today’s news that Agnes Chow is in Canada, safe from the oppressive regime in #HongKong, has touched many HongKongers. Already, images & tributes are emerging:

Agnes Chow has fled to Canada.

Chow said that, in early July, #HongKong police offered to return her passport if she would travel w/them to Shenzhen. She says she was shown an exhibition of #China's achievements & the Tencent HQ – where she was requested to pose for photos. https://t.co/WsmKOx7iIX

1. Wish Agnes Chow well – she has been put through hell. Just hope she can and will live well in Canada.

2. This probably puts an end to openings for well-known dissidents released from jail to leave #HongKong. This is NOT Agnes’ fault: HK authorities are just evil. https://t.co/flCuOowWdP
