Hong Kong Activist Agnes Chow Exiles After Re-Education Trip to China

Prominent Pro-democracy activist Agnes Chow is exiling herself in Canada
after getting her passport back from the police in return for taking a
patriotic trip to China, an exchange that sheds light on Hong Kong's
attempts to re-educate political opponents.

Chow, former leader of Hong Kong’s crushed pro-democracy movement and protests
of 2012, 2014 and 2019, is on police bail being accused of national-security
crimes, said she was taken across the border to mainland China in August by
5 Hong Kong officials. In the neighboring city of Shenzhen, she was taken
to an exhibition documenting China’s achievements.

In social media posts on Sunday, Chow said she had moved to Canada to
study and her mental health has suffered due to pressure and restrictions
she was under in Hong Kong. Chow said she will probably never
return to Hong Kong.
