Tsang was due to appear in court on Dec 22, 2020, but did not show up. On the same day, South China Morning Post and Apple Daily published their interview with him. In the interviews, he revealed that he was among the activists rejected by US consulate in Hong Kong earlier.
According to Apple Daily, Tsang without disclosing his current location has fled Hong Kong and sever contacts with his family and friends. Tsang said
he would not face a fair trial in Hong Kong and it was very likely that he would immediately be remanded into custody if he showed up.
"The national security law wasn’t there when I was arrested. But since the law was imposed, the repression is intensifying. The situation in Hong Kong is getting worse. I don’t think I can stay in Hong Kong,” Tsang said.
Tsang revealed that he was one of five protesters who had attempted to seek asylum at the US consulate in Hong Kong on October 27, 2020.
After they were turned down, Tsang was scared that the National Security Police were awaiting them, “Having sought help from the US consulate, I can now be charged with collusion with foreign forces under the national security law"
Tsang said it would be harder for him to stay in Hong Kong, "there is no turning back...I chose this path and I will walk on."
Tsang's girlfriend Aurora (alias), aged 15, revealed in an earlier interview that she was seeking asylum in the UK. Tsang has been worrying about her safety, "My situation puts her at risk. This is one of the reasons why I urgently need to leave. We have no other option but to separate for some time--at least one of us can stay safe. I miss her. I hope we can reunite soon in a place of freedom.”

Hong Kong #Court Sends More Pro-demoracy Activists to Jail: At Least 20 Months for Jimmy Lai and 22 Months for '#LongHair'
Ten Hong Kong pro-democracy politicians and activists were sentenced to jail for 14 to 18 months on May 28, 2021, after the court convicted them of organizing and joining an "unauthorised protest" on October 1, 2019, which was the national day of the People's Republic of China. Back then, the participating pro-democracy ptotesters described the day as the "#NationalMourningDay".
District Court judge Amanda Woodcock claimed that the defendants' wish for a peaceful protest is "naive" and "unrealistic".
Former legislators #AlbertHo, #LeeCheukYan and 'Long Hair' #LeungKwokHung and Civil Human Rights Front (#CHRF) convenor #FigoChan received a 18-month jail term.
AppleDaily founder #JimmyLai, former legislators #CydHo and #YeungSum, and former League of Social Democrats (#LSD) chairman #AveryNg were sentenced to 14 months in jail.
Only former legislator #SinChungKai and activist #RichardTsoi received suspended jail terms.
With their existing prison terms from other cases, Jimmy Lai and Lee Cheuk-yan are currently serving 20 months in prison in total while that of Leung Kwok-hung has accumulated to 22 months at the moment.
In the courtroom, some pro-democracy supporters chanted "fight on". From the defendants' seats, Leung Kwok-hung called out "Remember June 4th [Tiananmen Massacre]", while Figo Chan shout "mourn on June 4, speak out on July 1".
