More and more Hong Kong people have been exposed to “selling piglets” to Southeast Asian countries. The Security Bureau said that as of Wednesday (24th), it had received two more cases of Hong Kong people who were suspected of being lured to Southeast Asian countries for help, with a total of 41 cases. According to information from law enforcement agencies, 23 people have been confirmed to be safe; the remaining 18 are believed to be 6 in Myanmar and 12 in Cambodia, and their personal freedoms are restricted.
A spokesman for the Security Bureau also said tonight that three more Hong Kong residents returned to Hong Kong safely from Thailand today with the assistance of the relevant departments following seeking help from the “Assistance to Hong Kong Residents Unit” of the Immigration Department earlier. Since the establishment of the Security Bureau Task Force, a total of 4 helpers have returned to Hong Kong safely under its coordination.
In addition, Councilman Hacken Chan said on his social platform last night (25th) that the victim of the Myanmar “KK Park” case received earlier had arrived in Hong Kong safely in the evening, thanking the relevant authorities for their assistance. It is believed that the culprit of the “KK Park” is one of the three Hong Kong people mentioned above. Taking into account the above-mentioned cases, it is estimated that a total of 15 Hong Kong people have returned to Hong Kong. Chen said a few days ago that the victim was imprisoned in the “KK Park” for a month and was able to communicate with his family every day, but the process was monitored and he worked more than 10 hours a day. The group asked the family to pay tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars in ransom before they might leave.
