HONG KONG, Oct 25 (SCMP): The Hong Kong government on Friday rejected a proposal to meet Taiwanese authorities to exchange evidence and sort out travel details for the wanted murder suspect Chan Tong-kai after the self-ruled island approached the victim’s parents to express such a request.
The city’s Security Bureau reiterated the legal restrictions it faced, as there was no mechanism for mutual legal assistance to exchange evidence between the two jurisdictions. The bureau also doubled down on its calls for Taiwan to approve Chan’s trip to the island as a private citizen as the first step towards solving the problem.
