Hong Kong Lawmaker’s Protest Thwarted

From AP, via the Washington Post: “Immigration officials on Saturday barred a maverick Hong Kong lawmaker from entering Macau, blocking his plans to launch pro-democracy demonstrations during a visit by Chinese President Hu Jintao.

In televised remarks, Leung Kwok-hung, popularly known as ‘Longhair,’ said immigration officials denied him entry at Hong Kong’s ferry pier and promptly deported him, ending his third unsuccessful attempt to start protests in the gambling enclave. ”
