Prominent #HongKong protester Alexandra Wong, a.k.a Grandma Wong, has resurfaced in HK after being arrested and detained Chinese police for more than a year. She was permitted to return to HK following the end of her probation on September 29.

According to @StandNewsHK, former pro-democracy legislator @ChuHoiDick said Wong is in good spirit but there is an obvious bruises on her left elbow. It was the result of Chinese police pulling her during the arrest. thestandnews.com/politics/取保候審-1-年完結-王婆婆已返港-朱凱廸-

Wong is known for waving the British flag at all protests throughout last year and she went missing after being taken away by #HongKong police on August 11, 2019. She later confirmed to Stand News via email that she was charged with Picking Quarrels and Provoking Trouble.

She was released on September 29 last year but she was release on bail so needed to wait for a year. She described the experience as being released from a smaller jail to a larger jail.

Correction: The end of the “released on bail, not probation.”
