Thailand stopped the 19-year-old pro-democracy activist from entering the country and sent him back to Hong Kong, officials said Wednesday, in a move supporters suspected was triggered by pressure from Beijing.
Wong's safe return allays fears that he would have been deported to Mainland China, where dissidents are treated harshly
The 19-year-old democracy activist Joshua Wong landed in Hong Kong shortly after 3:35 p.m. local time Wednesday after he was denied entry to Thailand to speak at an event marking the country’s 1976 massacre of student protestors.
He told media at Hong Kong International Airport that a group of around 20 Thai police and immigration officers took away his passport and kept him in solitary confinement in a fetid holding cell at the airport detention center, refusing him permission to contact lawyers or family.
