I can not point to any public references, but I have met individuals who have been involved in cases with people disappearing. When their relatives reach out to investigate their disappearances, there will be explanations along the lines that they eloped or disappeared at their own accord and they have no idea where they went. People who have fears that this could happen to them will agree with their SOs on hand signs and codes they can use when walking past security cameras to indicate that they are being forced somewhere. These cases don't end up in the news. > It does not take away from the fact that Hong Kong still has a functioning judiciary system independent from mainland China, and the vast vast majority of Hong Kong citizens have no reason to fear the same fate. This is the case today. The proposed extradition treaty would flip that around significantly. Also, the treaty has not been withdrawn at all, it has been "suspended", meaning it can still be picked up again at any time when/if the controversy has died down. Lam said a month ago that she plans to withdraw the bill, but that has not yet happened.
