The bookseller who made explosive revelations that he was kidnapped by mainland law enforcement agents has said his police protection may end soon as he wishes to return to a normal life.

Speaking on an online radio programme, Lam Wing-kee also said he supports the campaign for Hong Kong’s independence, as long as it’s done in a peaceful and non-violent manner.

Lam was one of the five associates of the Mighty Current publishing house and Causeway Bay Books who went missing one after another last year and later resurfaced under mainland custody.

The bookseller was offered around-the-clock police protection in early July after he felt threatened by strangers following him.

Lam, who’s been staying at a safe house, said he wishes to return home despite the fact that he still did not feel entirely safe.

As long as it’s peaceful and non-violent, I support independence
