Two men, including one who worked as a British immigration officer, have been jailed after being convicted of spying on prominent pro-democracy dissidents now based in Britain on behalf of Hong Kong, and ultimately China.
Chung Biu "Bill" Yuen, 66, and Chi Leung "Peter" Wai, 41, who worked for the UK Border Force, were convicted in May of assisting a foreign intelligence service by carrying out surveillance on targets between December 2023 and May 2024.
They are believed to be the first people to have been convicted of spying for China in Britain.
