Immigration officers turned away rights activist David Missal, deputy managing director & press officer for the Berlin-based Tibet Initiative Germany, after he arrived at Hong Kong International Airport on Sept. 7 from Beijing's Daxing International Airport, according to a copy of an official "Refusal Notice" he shared to his X account on Sunday.
