"Hong Kong man killing girlfriend in Taiwan" suspect Chen Tongjia's father spoke for the first time, supporting his son to surrender to Taiwan
[Global Network Reporter Yin Yanhui] Triggered by the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government to amend the "Fugitive Offenders Ordinance", Hong Kong suspect Chen Tongjia, who killed his girlfriend in Taiwan, once said that he would surrender to Taiwan, but he has not yet committed a crime. According to Hong Kong's "Sing Tao" and "Dagong Wenhui All Media" reported on June 22, Chen Tongjia's father responded to this matter for the first time in an interview. He said that Chen Tongjia was encouraged to surrender to Taiwan from the beginning to the end, to get a fair trial, and Chen Tongjia's willingness to surrender It will not change because of the new coronary disease. He felt that his son needed to take responsibility for wrongdoing, and it was an account of the dead Pan Xiaoying and his family.
The report mentioned that Guan Haoming, secretary general of the Anglican Church of Hong Kong who had persuaded Chen Tongjia to surrender to Taiwan, told the media on the 22nd that Chen Tongjia's family supported him to surrender to Taiwan, saying that Chen Tongjia's family had already suffered a lot of pressure.
Chen Tongjia was suspected of killing his girlfriend Pan Xiaoying in Taipei in February 2018 and later fled back to Hong Kong. Because the incident occurred in Taiwan, Hong Kong and Taiwan did not have an "extradition agreement", and Chen Tongjia could not be convicted of "deliberate killing" in Hong Kong. Finally, the Hong Kong police accused Chen Tongjia of embezzling Pan Xiaoying’s bank card and property, and charged him with money laundering. , Chen Tongjia was finally sentenced to 29 months. He was released from prison on October 23, 2019.
After being released from prison, Chen Tongjia apologized publicly and said he would go to Taiwan to surrender.
Since Chen Tongjia indicated his willingness to go to Taiwan to surrender, the DPP authorities have repeated this attitude. First, he claimed that "Hong Kong people's Hong Kong trial" required the Hong Kong government to pursue Chen's custody. He also advocated the so-called "political operation" of Chen Tongjia's surrender. He also imposed controls on Chen Tongjia and the pastor Guan Haoming who persuaded him to surrender in Taiwan. After being widely questioned by the public opinion, the DPP authorities changed their claim that they did not restrict entry and could apply to go to Taiwan. The DPP authorities also advocate sending personnel to Hong Kong to escort Chen Tongjia to Taiwan for trial. This requirement of "leading people to Hong Kong" obviously does not conform to the common sense of the law. It is deliberately engaging in political operations and making the Hong Kong SAR Government difficult. It was precisely because the DPP authorities created obstacles and set up legal difficulties that led to "Chen Tongjia's surrender to Taiwan" which has not yet been realized.
