Leung Kwok-hung

Several Hong Kong activists have been turned away by local immigration yesterday.
League of Social Democrats lawmaker Leung Kwok-hung, also known as “Long Hair,” and eight activists were detained yesterday afternoon as they tried to enter Macau.
RTHK reported that the group had travelled to protest during Premier Li Keqiang’s visit to the city, planning to urge Beijing to free dissidents and to give Hong Kong more autonomy.
As they got off the ferry, the activists began shouting slogans and Leung reported that they were refused entry as they had violated Macau’s internal security laws.
Roy Tam, an environmentalist from political party Neo-democrats, was also refused entry upon arrival in Macau on Saturday. On Wednesday, two activists and one director also from the neighboring SAR were refused entry due to the same reason.
