Hong Kong Accuses China of Abducting Publisher

BY:   1-5-16

Activist: ‘We feel that Hong Kong is not Hong Kong anymore’

Five officials with a Hong Kong publisher have now disappeared after that company printed books critical of China’s Communist Party, raising concerns that Beijing has escalated its efforts to crack down on opponents in the territory.

Lee Bo, a major shareholder in the Mighty Current publishing company, was the latest to vanish when he disappeared on Wednesday in Hong Kong. The company has published thinly sourced and tabloid-like books that assail some of China’s top leaders.

The Washington Post reported on Monday that, in a fax to a subsidiary of Mighty Current, Lee said he went to China “by my own means, to cooperate with an investigation carried out by relevant department.” However, Hong Kong police said Lee did not pass through immigration to exit the city, leading some officials to speculate that he was abducted by Chinese officials and forced to transmit the fax.
