Barrister #PaulHarris Leaves Hong Kong After Being Approached by National Security Police
The former chairperson of the Hong Kong Bar Association (#HKBA), Paul Harris, has reportedly left Hong Kong on March 1, 2022, hours after local media said he was summoned to a meeting with the #NationalSecurityPolice.
He confirmed to Reuters that he had left, saying that he returned to see his mother in England.
Harris’ departure comes after his meeting with national security police at the police headquarters in Wan Chai earlier that afternoon.
In the meeting, he was said to be given a warning over an alleged breach of the security legislation connected to a NGO Hong Kong Human Rights Monitor, of which Harris was the founding chairperson.
The rights group has been accused by state-run media of colluding with foreign forces and playing a “major role” in the anti-extradition protests in 2019.
