Singapore Denies Entry to Hong Kong Activist Nathan Law

Officials cited national interest following checks that referenced a Hong Kong security-law warrant.

Overview

  • MHA said Law arrived from San Francisco on Saturday, underwent immigration and security assessment, and was refused entry.
  • He was placed on the earliest return flight to San Francisco on Sunday, according to the ministry.
  • Law said he was detained at Changi, informed after four hours of the refusal, and spent about 14 hours in Singapore before departing.
  • The ministry noted that holding a visa does not guarantee entry, with point-of-entry checks applied in this case.
  • MHA referenced a Hong Kong police warrant under the National Security Law; Law, who is based in London, has previously been listed with a HK$1 million bounty.
