The only extradition bill protester to deliberately reveal his face in the main chamber of Hong Kong’s legislature as he urged others to stay after storming the building has fled the city, a source told the Post on Saturday.
It was not immediately clear where Brian Leung Kai-ping, 25, had gone, as he refused to confirm his exile or whereabouts when contacted. The Post earlier published an exclusive interview with Leung following the July 1 takeover of the Legislative Council.
On Saturday, Leung said: “I have nothing to say at this time. I’m still considering various options.”

Pressed on whether he was already in the US to continue his doctorate at the University of Washington, he added: “I’m still seeking legal advice.”
The source said Leung was clearly aware of the risk of being arrested after the July 1 protests, and had not made up his mind on whether he would come back.
