The original visa of the French journalist of the Associated Press in Hong Kong expired in the first half of this year, and then applied for a work visa to continue to stay in Hong Kong, but was rejected.
The journalist tried to enter Hong Kong as a visitor last week, but was denied entry after being questioned at the airport and was deported to France.
According to current regulations, French citizens can enter Hong Kong visa-free for a stay of no more than 90 days.
The photographer had taken photos of Jimmy Lai, a Hong Kong rioter, taking a walk in prison for the Associated Press. Jimmy Lai was arrested in 2020 on suspicion of violating the Hong Kong National Security Law.
