Hong Kong deports Indonesian worker who reported on protests

Hong Kong on Monday deported an Indonesian domestic worker who had reported on the city's ongoing protests, her supporters said, accusing authorities of a politically motivated expulsion. Award-winning writer Yuli Riswati was held for 28 days after failing to extend her visa and was put on a flight to Surabaya on Monday afternoon, a friend told AFP. A statement from a support group for Riswati accused Hong Kong's Immigration Department of "suppressing her freedom of speech and her right to help Indonesian workers in Hong Kong".
