Manila: Former Philippine foreign minister Albert del Rosario (pic), a critic of Beijing’s claims to the disputed South China Sea, was denied entry to Hong and deported, his lawyer said.

Del Rosario was behind two prominent initiatives against China, including a 2013 case at an international arbitral tribunal which eventually ruled against Beijing’s claim over most of the resource-rich waterway.His deportation yesterday comes as anger is still bubbling in Hong Kong over a proposed Bill that would have allowed extraditions to the mainland, raising fears of people being ensnared in China’s opaque court system.
