感謝三位朋友辛勞的工作，把我那篇記錄自已在泰國被非法扣押十二小時的文章，3000字一句不漏地完整翻譯成英文，現在成功刊登在英國《衛報》。
Thank you my friends contributed to the full translation of my 3,000-word essay describing the 12-hour ordeal in a detention cell, now available on The Guardian.

It seems that the Thai government feels it has much to fear from youth movements that promote democracy, such as mine in Hong Kong.
But my passport had been taken away, and I had been forbidden to use my phones or computers, so I could not contact anyone. They could do as they pleased. My two requests – to contact a lawyer and for them to explain the legality of their action – were both rejected with a simple “No”.
I criticised them for detaining me without any legal basis as something that was a violation of human rights and they replied: “We’ll tell you why once we have you detained.” I continued to point out that they were violating proper police procedure, but they simply replied: “You know this is Thailand, it’s like China. Not like Hong Kong!”
He was right, I thought. It is like China – not like Hong Kong. After all, the Hong Kong publisher Gui Minhai was kidnapped in Thailand last year and was eventually sent to mainland China.
So after China, Macau and Malaysia, there is now another territory I know I cannot enter. In fact, I still don’t understand why. I have never criticised the Thai government. I was only invited there to share my experiences of being a young man who took part in the umbrella movement. And this led to me being detained as soon as I stepped off the plane and being treated in a way that goes completely against human rights and the law. I spent almost 12 hours in detention and was deprived of my passport and of contact with others.
I am absolutely certain that my unlawful detention by the Thai authorities was motivated by their fear of youth movements around the world.
Indeed, young people right across the globe will only become more united and engaged as our collective yearning for democracy, civil liberties and other universal values strengthens. So too will our commitment to street activism. Our hopes and dreams transcend culture, language, country and political realities.
