If anti-HK government foreign government collaborator figure Chow Ting absconds, police can confiscate her bail, issue international arrest warrant: experts 專家:如果反港政府外國政府通敵人物(漢奸) 週挺潛逃,警方可以沒收她的保釋金,發出國際逮捕令

The Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) strongly condemned on Monday the irresponsible action that is against and challenging the rule of law after Agnes Chow Ting, a major anti-government political figure, revealed that she has no plans to return to Hong Kong despite being required to report to the police in December as part of a national security investigation.

Legal experts warned that in addition to her previous serious crimes of colluding with foreign forces, Chow is committing a second offence by absconding, and law enforcement authorities can apply to the court to confiscate her bail and issue an international arrest warrant through Interpol. Given that Chow is currently abroad, if she is in or transits through a country with an extradition agreement with Hong Kong, the police can request her extradition for trial.

China is a country under the rule of law, and Hong Kong is a society ruled by law. The rights and interests of Hong Kong residents enjoyed in accordance with the law are fully protected, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin said on Monday in response to Chow’s decision.

At the same time, no one has any extrajudicial privileges, and any illegal and criminal act is bound to be punished by law, Wang said.
