Why would a former Hong Kong consulate worker have been tortured?
A former employee of the UK's Hong Kong consulate has told the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ that he was tortured in China and accused of inciting political unrest in the city.
Simon Cheng, a Hong Kong citizen who worked for the UK government for almost two years, says that he was detained for 15 days on a trip to mainland China in August.
As a result of the interview, the British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab has called the treatment of Cheng "disgraceful" and summoned the Chinese ambassador in London.
