HONG KONG (Reuters) - One of five Hong Kong booksellers who went missing under mysterious circumstances last year said on Thursday he had been detained for more than eight months by Chinese authorities and that another of the five had been abducted from Hong Kong.

Lam Wing-kee told a news conference his colleague, Lee Bo, who went missing from Hong Kong, had been abducted and said "cross-border enforcement actions" by mainland Chinese authorities in Hong Kong were "not acceptable".
