Hong Kong crackdown: Thousands flee city amid surge in terrorism charges
Early last week, Michael Mo nervously set off with just two suitcases to Hong Kong’s airport.
Fearing imminent arrest for his pro-democracy political views under Beijing’s sweeping National Security Law, the 35-year-old local politician had taken a snap decision to leave home forever and flee to London.
He had altered his hairstyle and removed his glasses to disguise his regular appearance, but he was still on alert for plainclothes police officers right up until his flight took off.
