Former "Student Dynamic Source" convener Zhong Hanlin and three others went to Taiwan to meet Su Yongyao, deputy director of the political group of the "Freedom Times", and Yang Yueqing, chairman of the Taiwan Youth Anti-Communist National Salvation Group, but were followed and secretly taken, and the photos were transferred to the "Ta Kung Pao" Wait for the Hong Kong media to publish.

The Taiwan Immigration Department stated today (25th) that Li Binhao, a Hong Kong citizen, violated his residency purpose by illegally tracking and filming students in Taiwan during his stay in Taiwan. He violated Hong Kong and Macao regulations and other regulations.

Zhong Hanlin was arrested in July for violation of national security law

Taiwan's private detective agency "Unification Credit Investigation" was earlier accused of being commissioned by a Hong Kong surnamed Li in Taiwan to track and monitor Hong Kong demonstrator Zhong Hanlin's trip to Taiwan.

The Taipei District Prosecutor's Office considers the behavior to be contemptible, but the content is not a private activity, does not constitute an obstruction of secrets, and will not prosecute.

Li Binhao originally worked and resided in Taiwan, but his residence permit was revoked by the Immigration Department in April this year because his employer terminated his employment.

However, he was restricted from leaving the country by the prosecutor at the time because of the case involved. The judicial organ notified the Immigration Department to lift the control, and he was forced to leave the country according to law.

The Minister of the Interior Xu Guoyong stated that both local people and foreigners have freedom from fear in Taiwan. Some media use illegal methods to collect intelligence in Taiwan and use Taiwan’s freedom and democracy to infiltrate and harm human rights. Their behavior is not a democratic and legal society. Agree.

On July 29 this year, the National Security Service of the police arrested Zhong Hanlin on suspicion of inciting others to split the country, and was subsequently released on bail.

He said at the time that he had disbanded all members of the "Hong Kong Student Action Source" and resigned as the convener on the day when the National Security Law was implemented.
