Chinese lawyer who helped Hong Kong fugitive in Shenzhen says he is being tailed

Independent press outlet, Coconuts, in HK reports…

A Chinese human rights lawyer who assisted one of the Hong Kong fugitives caught fleeing to Taiwan says he is being followed by unknown men.

Lu Siwei, a Sichuan-based lawyer, told Apple Daily on Saturday that he was recently tailed by four strangers dressed in black. He suspects that they could have been sent by mainland Chinese police, and that one of the men is a government worker in his district.

Lu was appointed by the family members of Quinn Moon, one of the 12 Hongkongers whose boat was intercepted by mainland Chinese authorities during an ill-fated escape to Taiwan last August.

10 of the 12 were trialed in a Shenzhen court late December. Moon and another activist, Tang Kai-yin, were found guilty of organizing an illegal border crossing and sentenced to two and three years in jail respectively.
