Former Hong Kong student leader Nathan Law has been denied entry to Singapore upon his arrival there last Saturday for a conference.
Law is wanted by Hong Kong authorities and has a one-million-dollar bounty on his head.
Nathan Law fled Hong Kong in 2020.
According to the Financial Times, he arrived in Singapore with a UK-issued refugee passport on Saturday on board a flight from San Francisco.
Although he was holding a visa, Law was held by authorities at Singapore Chiangi Airport for four hours before being told that his entry had been denied.
He was later put back on a flight to San Francisco.
Law told the Financial Times that he had been granted a visa three weeks before his trip.
An extradition agreement between Hong Kong and Singapore has been in force since 1998.
The agreement sets out 31 crimes, including murder and manslaughter, that both sides can put offenders in jail or other forms of detention for not less than a year.
Senior counsel Ronny Tong said the SAR government probably had not asked Singapore to hand over Law.
He said under the United Nations model treaty, any offenders with suspected political backgrounds could not be transferred to another country based on extradition procedures.
