Help Hong Kong residents flee before it's too late, fugitive democracy figure urges

Time is running out to help Hongkongers before the expected introduction of powers banning people from leaving as China tightens its grip on the city.

A pro-democracy politician Ted Hui, who exiled to the UK while on bail before moving to Australia, said world must provide ā€˜lifeboat plansā€™ ahead of expected travel bans.

The Hong Kong government recently unveiled proposed legislation to give the immigration department ā€œunfettered powersā€ to stop people leaving. With no remaining opposition in Hong Kongā€™s legislature, the amendment is likely to pass and would take effect on 1 August.
