Authorities Demand Ousted Pro-Demmocracy Lawmaker to Return Pay during Office

The Legislative Council Commission filed to the High Court a bankruptcy petition against Baggio Leung, a pro-democracy lawmaker who was ousted during the oath of office saga in 2016.

The Legislative Council Commission filed the petition as the creditor, requesting that a bankruptcy order be made against Leung. The application is scheduled to be heard on 2 December, 2020.

Leung had been removed from the Legislative Council after Beijing interpreted Hong Kong Basic Law. The Legislative Council Commission had then chased after his HKD930,000 salary for his brief tenure as a legislator. The Commission had won the case.

Legislative Council president Andrew Leung had stated last month that Baggio Leung had not been returning the debt punctually. The Commission then decided to apply a bankruptcy order for Baggio Leung.

Sixtus Baggio Leung Chung-hang, 34, had "meeting with some congressmen and also some officers from the government" to ask for asylum for 2oo Hongkongers who were born after the British handover in 1997, without BN(O) passport.

In Early Dec 2020, the U.S. House of Representatives voted to give Hong Kong residents "Temporary Protected Status," which would allow them to live and work in the U.S. for five years and is usually only issued to protect people from war-ravaged nations, such as Somalia, Syria and Yemen. The move still needs approval from the Senate.

The Charter includes the belief of Hong Kongers overseas and advocating the protest direction at different levels which were divided into three parts, Hong Kong, China and International.

The "2021 Hong Kong Charter" is led by Nathan Law Kwun-Chung, Sunny Cheung Kwan-yang, Ted Hui Chi-Fung, Brian Leung Kai-Ping, Glacier Kwong Chung-Ching, Ray Wong Toi-Yeung and Baggio Leung Chung-Hang.
