Missing book editor Lee Bo returns home safe and well

Hong Kong police have said the book editor Lee Bo - who it was feared had been abducted - has returned home.

His disappearance worried civil rights groups, because he produced works which are banned in China.

A police statement reported that Mr Bo arrived back in Hong Kong on Thursday and met with officers as part of an investigation.

It appears he had gone to the mainland to assist in a court case, and had not been kidnapped.

Mr Bo is one of five Hong Kong-based men linked to a publishing house that released banned works written about China’s Communist leadership.
