Hong Kong democracy activist Joshua Wong is on the way back to Hong Kong, the party's official Facebook page said on Wednesday.
Demosistō has just been informed by the Hong Kong Immigration Department that Secretary General Joshua Wong has boarded Hong Kong Express Airways flight HX772 earlier from Bangkok, Thailand, en route back to Hong Kong, it said.
He is expected to arrive at 3:45 p.m. local time. Nathan Law, legislative council of Hong Kong member and chairperson of Demosistō, will make a few brief remarks to the media at the airport. Law and Wong will discuss the case in greater length through a press conference to be held at the Legislative Council Complex at 8 p.m. tonight.
Meanwhile, Wong’s fellow party’s member at 1 pm local time gathered and marched to the Thai Consulate in Hong Kong in protest against his denied entry.
The protesters called for the Thai authority to immediately release Wong and explain why the activist had been detained.
They called the authority to also apologise for violating Wong’s right and condemned the authority for following Beijing’s request.
