He fled back to the southern Chinese City because he knew taiwanese police wouldn't be able to apprehend him Both he and his girlfriend are Hong Kong born citizens but this case is what triggered an ill-fated proposal by Hong Kong's pro-Beijing government to ram through a sweeping extradition bill which would have allowed the city to extradite suspects to any territory, including mainland China and Taiwan. That sparked massive public backlash with record breaking crowds, particularly with the youth The protest have snowballed as a movement that seeks greater democracy and police accountability as protesters are demanding Carrie Lam to step down and to break free from mainland China for good and have even asked President Trump to step in. As for Chan, his tumultanous chain of events has indicated he's willing to be sent back now for prosecution as he's currently serving a jail sentence inHong Kong after he was convicted of stealing his gf's possession during trial He is due to be released next week as theoretically he CAN'T be charged with a homicide in the city since it happened in Taiwan Revered Peter Koon has visited him in prison and said Chan is now willing to return to Taiwan willingly and said "I believe he will keep his word" Taiwan maintains the death penalty but Koon thinks Chan is unlikely to receive that if he voluntarily surrenders and has expressed great regret for the victim's familiy and sorry for causing all this trouble Thousands of protesters have formed human chains at multiple subway stations and have worn masks such as winnie the pooh and joker which have been a target of China Do you think this Kid should face justice back in Taiwan or be free in Hong Kong?. Chan - Murderer and his girlfriend (Deceased) Reverend Koon - Believes Chan will keep his word and turn himself in Protests - --- 2019 will be the end of random news.. call me mrduckbear, sweater monkeys.

They could just make an extradition agreement that only applies for crimes committed that are considered crimes in both regions. So murder: yes; criticizing the Chinese government: no. Would've been pretty fucking simple to implement. Of course, China doesn't care about a functional agreement and just wanted control over HK.
In any case, I never understood why this jerk is somehow safe in HK anyway. He and his victim are both from HK, so even if the murder occurred elsewhere, why couldn't/wouldn't the HK authorities arrest and try him in HK? Why was an extradition bill needed in this instance to throw him in jail? ... Copied to Clipboard!

I guess it's just a fringe benefit to figure-heading a movement, though, since it's likely too political to even try in a HK court. --- (\/)(\/)|-| Scientists are finally waking up to what pyramids have known all along. ...
