Sky News’ Asia correspondent Tom Cheshire and his crew were detained while trying to enter Hong Kong.

  • According to a tweet, Cheshire and his crew were given no reason for the detainment beyond a “random check.”
  • He tweeted that they were held for about two hours and their requests to call the British Embassy were denied. Their belongings were also searched.
  • They were eventually released and returned to their home base in Beijing.
  • “If it’s meant as an intimidation tactic, rest assured it will have the opposite effect,” he tweeted after returning home.
