24-Year-Old Man Arrested for Breach of Bail Conditions 5 Minutes Before Departure Allowed

A man involved in the PolyU "riot" case was at the airport last night and departed 5 minutes before the court's permission to leave Hong Kong took effect. He was arrested in breach of bail conditions and was detained to Kowloon City Magistracy in the morning. He was allowed to continue his bail under the original conditions. The magistrate stated that the defendant should depart at midnight, and the police had no discretion to let him leave.

The defense lawyer said that the 24-year-old defendant was scheduled to take a flight to Osaka University for exchange at 1 am. When he arrived at the departure hall at 11.55 last night, he was alleged to have violated the bail conditions by the immigration department. The defendant had no bailing paper on hand at that moment. The defense repeatedly emphasized that the defendant had reported to the police 24 hours before departure in accordance with the procedures, and the airport police knew that the defendant was allowed to leave Hong Kong on January 6.

Chinese student breached Australian epidemic defense
Proudly lied about coming from Hong Kong and got away


Editor’s Note: Various commentators in Hong Kong brought up a very important point on 3 Feb. The reason why Carrie Lam is keeping Shenzhen Bay, Hong Kong Airport, and HZMB (Hong Kong–Zhuhai–Macau Bridge) open is very likely because she wants to make it easy for the powers and riches from mainland China to fly to elsewhere through Hong Kong. If they fly to other places, they will put down Hong Kong as the port of departure. Shenzhen Bay is very close to the Shenzhen Bao’an International Airport, and this port is also close to the Hong Kong International Airport. Therefore, aristocrats from mainland can take flights from different places to Shenzhen or Zhuhai, and through Shenzhen Bay or HZMB to the Hong Kong Airport, and then fly to anywhere in the world. These people may even hold Hong Kong or foreign passports, like Meng Wenzhou. Shenzhen Bay is usually used by the private cars with dual license plates (which general public are not able to get such license) from China and Hong Kong. That place is also close to the affluent neighbourhood of Nanshan, Shenzhen. Since a Chinese student in Australia lied about his port of departure and got away, other people are likely to follow suit, using Hong Kong as “white gloves,” that is, to hide their dirty hands using Hong Kong as a cover.


(3 Feb) One after another, many countries are imposing strict control over China as the novel coronavirus continues to wreak havoc around the world. Since 3 Feb, the Australian government began to ban visitors from mainland China from entering the country, except for Australian citizens and permanent residences. However, a Chinese student, in a bid to enter Australia, used fake information to evade the current immigration policy set by the Australian government and even told the media how he did it.

Sidney Today interviewed 3 Chinese students. One of those Chinese students K used fake information in order to enter the country. He said he made a transfer flight in Hong Kong on 1 February and arrived at Brisbane Airport at 11:45 PM. He learned about the travel ban in Australia after he landed. His classmates even teased him in text messages that he would be deported. Instead of getting deported, he changed the port of departure from China to Hong Kong. He proudly told the media that “Yes, the orange one! I crossed out China and changed it to Hong Kong.” As a result, he was allowed entry by the Department of Immigration and Border Protection, who didn’t even bother to check his luggages thoroughly.
