Hong Kong high school student Tsang Chi-kin was shot in the left chest by the police while participating in the anti-Sino protest movement in Hong Kong. Recently, Friends of Hong Kong, a British organization that assists Hong Kong people in exile, said that Tsang Chi-kin is currently living in exile and is living freely, but the organization did not reveal where he is living in exile.
According to media reports, Tsang Chi-kin, a 19-year-old secondary school student in Hong Kong, was shot in the left chest by police while participating in an anti-China protest in October last year. He was later charged with rioting and assaulting a police officer, and his case was arraigned in the District Court on Dec. 22, but he did not appear in court as scheduled. The prosecution said in court that Tsang had not reported to the police since Oct. 24, and that police had gone to the address he reported recently but could not find him, and the court had issued a warrant for his arrest.
Friends of Hong Kong, a British organization that assists Hong Kong people in exile, said on its Facebook page on Oct. 22 that Tsang and some of his fellow protesters had left Hong Kong and that Tsang had officially declared that they were in exile. However, it did not disclose how Tsang left Hong Kong or where he went into exile.
In the afternoon of December 22, Tsang issued a statement through the Friends of Hong Kong website, saying, “The so-called crimes and penalties committed under the totalitarian regime should not be accepted, and neither pleading guilty nor going to jail should be among our choices. persist in our struggle.” Zeng also said that he would never surrender in the face of the CCP’s political repression.
The statement said that in order to find a way to continue their struggle, Zeng and his comrades sought assistance from the U.S. Consulate in Hong Kong on Oct. 27.
The statement also said that Zeng Zhijian’s girlfriend, Aurora, requested the support and protection of Friends of Hong Kong after she was followed by unknown persons in Hong Kong. With the organization’s assistance, Aurora is starting a new life in the United Kingdom and continuing her studies.
In an interview with AFP in October, Tsang said he took part in the struggle for democracy, saw millions of Hong Kong people take to the streets, and was shot in a way that changed his life so much that he dropped out of school and had part of his lung removed.
Since the implementation of the Hong Kong version of the National Security Law in Hong Kong on June 30, Hong Kong authorities have continued to crack down on the media, activists and freedom of expression, with many arrests forcing several prominent Hong Kong activists and former lawmakers to declare their own exile and some to flee the city over allegations of crimes related to the demonstrations.
