Simon Cheng, 29, escaped to the UK via Taiwan after he says he was 'tortured' on the Chinese mainland.
Pro-democracy protesters"can simply wave the flag or say something bad to the government and be detained and delivered back to mainland China," he said.
"We give a warning signal to the world now," he said."The Hong Kong citizens now on the frontline, so in the future I do believe we are eligible to get the Nobel Peace Prize."Recalling his time in captivity, Mr Cheng said he had been returning to Hong Kong following a trip to mainland China when he was arrested on 8 August.
He alleged an interrogator began by asking him what crime he had committed, followed by what he thought about Hong Kong and whether the UK had anything to do with widespread pro-democracy protests.Hong Kong police are seen firing tear gas at protesters
