Hong Kong police hit out at opposition activist Agnes Chow for failing to return from Canada, report as part of bail conditions
- Report date for Agnes Chow, now in Toronto, had been set for Thursday as part of Hong Kong police bail conditions
- She angered authorities earlier by announcing on social media that she would never return, with source warning bounty could be placed on her head for failing to report
Hong Kong police condemned opposition activist Agnes Chow Ting for failing to report to them on Thursday, a breach of bail conditions following her departure to Canada.
Chow, 27 and studying for a master’s degree in Toronto, had said she was required to check in with police under the conditions imposed by the force’s national security unit.
The force said she failed to appear at a police station at a specified time on Thursday, and hit out at her decision to jump bail.
“Endangering national security is a very serious offence,” a police spokesman told the Post. “Fugitives should not have any delusion that they can evade legal liability by absconding from Hong Kong. Fugitives will be pursued for life unless they turn themselves in before it is too late to have regrets.”
