Many supporters that happened are among the democracy workers, who fled from Hong Kong after being charged with the criminal. He was targeted in 2023 by HK $ 1 million ($ 1.27 million) police bounty.
In a Facebook post, Hui urged the Australian government to do more for other Hong Kong workers, who remained in jail.
“Australia should do more to save them and speak to their humanity,” said Hui.

“When people around me call me ‘congratulations’, although I politely thank me, I can’t help, but can feel unhappy in my heart. Congratulations to a political refugee who misses his hometown?” Posted on Facebook.
“If it was not for the oppression of politics, I would never have thought of living in a foreign land. Immigrants can always return to their hometown to visit relatives at any time. The exiles have no home.”
