Families of Detained Hong Kong People Petition Myanmar Consulate-General in Hong Kong but Letters Not Accepted
被禁錮港人家屬向緬甸駐港總領事館請願 未獲接信
Families of Hong Kong people detained in Southeast Asian scam compounds, accompanied by former Yau Tsim Mong District Council vice-chairman Yu Tak-po, petitioned the Consulate-General of Myanmar in Hong Kong this morning after earlier visiting the Consulate-General of Thailand in Hong Kong. They hoped the Myanmar government would help rescue them as soon as possible, but no representative accepted their petition letter. They left the letter outside the shopping centre at Sun Hung Kai Centre. A 25-year-old man was released last Thursday and returned to Hong Kong after his family paid a ransom to a criminal syndicate. At least 11 Hong Kong people remain detained in Southeast Asian scam compounds. Yu Tak-po and the families delivered the petition letter to the Myanmar consulate at the Sun Hung Kai Centre shopping centre this morning. He quoted the released man’s family as saying that they hoped other families would maintain their faith and hope, and that they would be reunited before the Lunar New Year.
有被禁錮東南亞園區進行詐騙工作的港人家屬，繼早前前往泰國駐港總領事館後，今早再與協助他們的前油尖旺區議會副主席余德寶，到緬甸駐香港總領事館請願，盼望緬甸政府儘快協助營救，但對方未有派員接信，他們將信件放在新鴻基中心商場門外。 一名25歲男子在家屬向犯罪集團交付贖金後，上周四獲釋從泰國返港，目前仍有至少11名港人禁錮在東南亞詐騙園區。余德寶今早與被禁錮港人家屬，到位於新鴻基中心商場的緬甸駐香港總領事館遞交請願信，並引述該名獲釋男子家人稱，寄語其他家屬要保持信念及希望，希望農曆新年前一家團聚。
