Hong Kong man returns to city after 26 years in Philippine prison for drug offences

Translate

A Hong Kong man imprisoned in the Philippines for 26 years while fighting against convictions for drug possession has been released and returned home on Tuesday night.

Tang Lung-wai, 55, is set to be greeted by his elder brother, Billy Tang Lung-piu, as he arrives from Manila at the Hong Kong International Airport.

“The moment I got out of the car, uncuffed, I felt finally free,” he said. “I am really lucky to be able to walk out physically sound.”

Tang Lung-wai was arrested in Manila in July 2000 for possession of methamphetamine, also known as Ice, and placed on remand. He was convicted more than a decade later, in 2011, and was handed a life sentence, which in the Philippines amounts to a maximum of 40 years in prison.
