Hong Kong pro-democracy activist and former leader of the Democratic Party, Wu Chi-wai, is granted permission to stay in the United Kingdom for six months after immigration trouble at a border point last week. Multiple outlets report that Wu was briefly detained and that, following the detention, there were concerns he could be deported. According to accounts cited by the outlets, Wu’s lawyer says the UK authorities grant him a six-month stay, which allows him to remain in the country while the situation is resolved. One report also notes that Wu acknowledges support from supporters in Hong Kong and elsewhere during the process. The coverage is based on statements from Wu’s legal representatives and reporting about the border incident and subsequent immigration decision. The sources do not present details on the precise grounds for the detention or the underlying immigration status being reviewed, focusing instead on the outcome of the stay permission and the immediate effect on Wu’s ability to remain in the UK.
