"A prominent Hong Kong protester has made her first public appearance in
14 months, telling the media she had been held in mainland China.

Alexandra Wong, 64, was nicknamed "Grandma Wong" and was often pictured
waving a British flag at protests.

She said she was detained last August in the border city of Shenzhen and
forced to renounce her activism in writing.

Ms Wong said she was also sent on a "patriotic tour" of Shaanxi province.

While there, she had to sing the national anthem and was photographed
waving the Chinese flag. She was then released on bail, she said, but
was forbidden from returning to Hong Kong."
