Chow, who is on police bail while under investigation on suspicion of national-security crimes, said she was taken across the border to mainland China in August by five Hong Kong officials.
In the neighboring city of Shenzhen, she was taken to an exhibition documenting China’s achievements and to the headquarters of tech giant Tencent.
