Two men are sentenced after being accused of spying for China and carrying out “shadow policing” against Hong Kong pro-democracy protesters living in the UK. Court reporting says Peter Wai, 41, a special constable associated with Heathrow, and Bill Yuen, 66, are linked through an alleged handler relationship. The accounts describe Wai conducting “shadow policing” operations targeting Hong Kong dissidents and protesters who live in Britain, including monitoring and other activities carried out under direction from Yuen. One outlet reports Wai is based in Hackney and that the case involves orders received from his handler. Both outlets describe the alleged operations as being carried out on behalf of China, with the targets characterized as pro-democracy figures from Hong Kong residing in the UK. The reports focus on the court’s presentation of the allegations and the sentencing outcome, with both men facing jail terms tied to the spying charges.
