In her Instagram post, Chow said she decided to flee after “considering the situation in Hong Kong, my personal safety, my physical and mental health,” adding that she had faced sustained pressure from authorities.
Chow said she received permission from Hong Kong authorities to pursue her master’s degree in Canada, on the condition that she returned to Hong Kong to report to police during school breaks.
Chow was among the first pro-democracy leaders to be detained under the law in Hong Kong.
In her Instagram post, Chow said she was admitted by a university in Toronto earlier this year.
The Hong Kong police statement on Chow confirmed they had returned her passport to allow her to study overseas and prolonged her bail.
