Kwok Kam-wah, Lo Wing-fai, and Chan Kwok-tung (from second left to right) return to Hong Kong from the Philippines on Friday, January 6, 2023. The incident occurred in July 2016 when Lo Wing-fai, Kwok Kam-wah, Chan Kwok-tung and Leung Shu-fook were boarding a ship in the Philippines to travel to mainland China. After a trial, all four were acquitted of making drugs, but were found guilty of possessing drugs and sentenced to life imprisonment. The three extended gratitude towards the Central Government, the SAR government, and Chinese embassy in the Philippines, and the Foreign Ministry's office in Hong Kong. They appealed to the governments in Beijing and Hong Kong to closely monitor Leung's situation and provide necessary assistance so that he can become a free man again and reunite with his family.
