Australia grants asylum to HK pro-democracy activist

Former deputy, pro-Hong Kong, pro-democracy activist Ted Hui was referred to in Australia, and more than four years after his former deputy Hong Kong left the 2019-Democracy protests against pro-democracy protests.

Hui, on Friday, approved the claim of the Australian Interior Ministry and received written notification and his wife, children and parents were also given a visa, he said.

“When the people around me tell me ‘congratulations’, I would like to thank them politely, I can’t help but I don’t worry in my heart. How will I congratulate a political refugee who missed his country?” He said on a Facebook post on Saturday.

“If there was no political persecution, I would never think of living in a foreign country. Migrants could always go back to their own towns to visit their relatives at any time, there is no home of exiles.”

The Ministry of Interior did not immediately answer the questions sent by E -Post sent after working hours.

The Hong Kong government and the Chinese Foreign Ministry did not immediately answer questions about the decision.

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albania visited Beijing in July as a part of the years of pressure to improve its ties with China.

Hui, a former Democratic Party deputy, left Hong Kong in the late 2020 after he faced criminal charges on pro-democracy protests.

In 2023, Hong Kong blamed the national security crime, including him and the provocation for separation, and put a prize ($ A196,000) awards.

Australia said he was disappointed with the decision and worried about the law.

Jimmy Lai, a pro -democracy businessman, is on charges of accusations against a alleged national security law in Beijing and Sedition in Hong Kong.
