Lam Wing-kee
Lam Wing-kee is the former owner and current manager of Causeway Bay Books, a Hong Kong bookshop most well known for its provision of politically-related publications. Lam was detained by non-Hong Kong Disciplined Services in October 2015 as part of the disappearances of several bookshop owners; the Central Case Examination Group let him go to Hong Kong in June 2016 to fetch information. When asked whether he can see that the government of Hong Kong has protected them, he replied "No".
His position/view on Hong Kong independence is ambiguous. In a Canadian interview, he said
In April 2019 Lam moved to Taiwan in response to the proposed Hong Kong extradition bill. A year later, in the face of physical threats and warnings over his choice of name, he opened a small upstairs bookstore in the commercial district of Taipei. He successfully crowdfunded his operations, raising $100,000 in a single day. On 21 April 2020, days before the reopening of Causeway Bay Books in Taipei, Lam was splashed with red paint and three suspects were arrested the next day.
