WHY: When five Hong Kong booksellers were
missing last year and then resurfaced on China's television
claiming that they went to China mainland on their own, people
were suspicious. How could one the booksellers, Lee Bo,
entered mainland China without his Hong Kong ID which he had
left at home? Lee Bo, who has a British passport, also
renounced his British citizenship on TV.
Yesterday, Mr. Lam Wing Kee, one of the five
missing booksellers who were kidnapped last year, held a press
conference in Hong Kong detailing his own ordeal of being
kidnapped in China when he crossed into China mainland in
October last year.
Mr. Lam told the Hong Kong press that he was
blind-folded, handcuffed and taken by train to the eastern
city of Ningbo, about 13 hours away. He was interrogated and
forced to sign a document admitting guilt for mailing banned
books to mainland China.
Eight months later, Mr. Lam was allowed to
return home to Hong Kong on Tuesday. China's authorities
expected him to go back to China yesterday instead Mr. Lam
decided to tell the world the truth about his ordeal.
