Hong Kong Activist Agnes Chow Feels Under Police Watch in Canada

Hong Kong democracy activist Agnes Chow, who was trapped in Hong Kong and had her passport seized, has revealed her years of repression under Beijing's increasingly authoritarian rule. After being jailed and facing a charge of "collusion," Chow was offered a way out by police: write a letter of repentance and travel to mainland China to view Chinese achievements. In exchange, she would be allowed to study in Canada. Chow, who felt unsafe in Hong Kong, decided to jump bail and remain in Canada indefinitely. The Hong Kong government vowed to pursue her "for life," but Chow criticized the government's use of the national security law to suppress political dissidents.
