Where is Ray Wong, the alleged Mong Kok riot instigator?
High Court issues arrest warrant after activist fails to report to police after German trip. Pro-Beijing media say he is in UK
The High Court has issued an arrest warrant for a high-profile Hong Kong activist accused of instigating a riot last year that left 130 people injured, after he breached multiple bail conditions, the Post has learned.
Ray Wong Toi-yeung, who led the once-active radical group Hong Kong Indigenous, failed to report to police last week and return his travel documents to the court after a judge-approved trip to Europe.
He was said to be in the UK, according to pro-Beijing newspaper Wen Wei Po. The British consulate would not comment on the report.
A police spokeswoman, while declining to comment on Wong’s case, added: “The force would, in the light of the circumstances of each case, locate the suspects at large through different channels and then apprehend them.”
Wong could not be immediately contacted. He was due to stand in an 80-day trial starting next month accused of three charges including rioting.
