The UK has confirmed that former Hong Kong opposition leader Wu Chi-wai will not be deported, despite initial complications upon his arrival. Immigration Minister Jo White stated that overseas convictions should not automatically disqualify individuals from settlement applications under the British National (Overseas) route. Wu, who was previously refused entry at London Heathrow Airport, was granted temporary admission and later a six-month visitor status following intervention from rights advocates and former Hong Kong governor Chris Patten.
