Hong Kong democracy activist Tony Chung said Friday he had fled to Britain because he could no longer endure living in fear, with authorities pressuring him to become a paid informant while banning him from working.
In 2021, Chung, then 20, became the youngest person to be imprisoned under Hong Kong's sweeping national security law -- imposed after massive and at times violent pro-democracy protests kicked off in 2019 in the former British colony.
