A Hong Kong man named Tang Lung-wai, who had been imprisoned in the Philippines since 2000 for drug possession, was recently released by a Manila court after his sentence was deemed completed based on good behavior credits. However, due to severe weather conditions caused by a typhoon, his deportation was delayed, and he was returned to a Philippine prison. His legal team criticized this as 'illegal detention,' arguing that the delay violated his rights. Tang maintains his innocence and has spent over two decades challenging his conviction.
