Former Hong Kong opposition leader Wu Chi-wai has been allowed into the UK, the South China Morning Post has learned, following a report he was denied entry while using his British National (Overseas) passport.
A source said on Thursday that Wu, ex-chairman of the Democratic Party and a former lawmaker, had been allowed into the United Kingdom. Citing his friends, The Times earlier reported he had initially been refused entry and told he would be deported.
Wu had served a sentence of four years and five months in a landmark subversion case and was released from a Hong Kong prison in late June.
