Nathan Law and everyone else with bounties on their head placed by the Hong Kong government really should try to avoid going to territories with active extradition treaties (aka fugitive offenders agreements) with Hong Kong! Singapore may well have done him a favour by refusing Law entry!

We’ve just watched all of #Ifoughtthelaw Very powerful and moving story, like Mr Bates it’s a story about how the Establishment tried to do over someone who wasn’t prepared to know their place and were shamed into addressing the problem
