Taipei: Taiwan says it has no intention of asking Hong Kong to return a murder suspect from the financial hub if the government passes controversial extradition legislation that puts Taiwanese citizens at risk of China’s reach.
Hong Kong’s government is pushing a Bill through the city’s legislature which would allow case-by-case extraditions to any jurisdictions it doesn’t have an already agreed treaty with, including mainland China.
Chan admitted to Hong Kong police that he killed his pregnant girlfriend Poon Hiu-wing, also from Hong Kong, and then flew home. Police were unable to charge him for murder or extradite him to Taiwan because no agreement is in place. Taiwan has undermined the need for speed by confirming it will not ask for Chan’s return, because it is concerned that Hong Kong’s extradition law puts its people at risk of being snatched by China.
