Among 12 #asylumseekers, a Portugal citizen was now detained in #China, w/ all access to lawyers/relatives blocked. Foreign nationals ain't only covered and wanted under #nationalsecurity, but also with human rights or rights to consular access & protection stripped before trial. twitter.com/joshuawongcf/s…
6. In order to bring those #asylumseekers back and safe, we hope the world can keep a close watch on the issue. #save12hkyouth #save12hkyouths
4. If leaving aside all other national security charges and just solely considering the charge of "crossing national border without immigration procedures", the 12 #asylumseekers may face a maximum penalty of one year in #China's prison.
3. Under #China's law, suspects can be released on bail. But in reality, especially when all the #asylumseekers may face further charges under #China's #nationalsecuritylaw and other criminal laws, the chance of bail is slim.
