2019年8月18日，#李孟居 從台灣到香港支援「反送中」運動。8月20日，李孟居從香港入境深圳。當日對在台友人表示中國解放軍集結在邊境，情勢看來很緊張，他想過關到深圳，並傳送一張關於解放軍集結照片給友人，此後，李孟居與外界失去聯絡。失蹤一年多後，2020年10月11日，中國中央電視台《焦點訪談》詳細介紹「李孟居案」及所謂台獨組織「台灣聯合國協進會」。節目抹黑李孟居是「別有用心的商人」。被強迫失蹤一年多更沒有符合法律規定保障，但央視在節目中卻播出李孟居所謂「認罪」。
Li Mengju travelled from Taiwan to Hong Kong on 18 August 2019, to show his support to the Hong Kong protesters in their demonstrations against the extradition bill. On 20 August 2019, he told his friend that the Chinese army had assembled at the Hong Kong-Shenzhen border and the situation was tense. He expressed his wish to go to Shenzhen and sent a photo of the Chinese army to his friend and went missing. On 11 October 2020, Chinese national broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) revealed the details of Li’s case and the involvement of a so-called “Taiwan Independence" force after a year of Li’s forced disappearance. The show accused Li as “a businessman with certain other intentions". Li was forcibly disappeared for over one year without any legal protection as the Chinese authorities didn’t follow proper legal procedures, but the CCTV programme broadcast his so-called “confession”.

案件簡介：
2019年8月18日，李孟居從台灣到香港支援反送中運動。8月20日，李孟居從香港入境深圳。當日李孟居對在台友人陳亞麟表示中國解放軍集結在邊境，情勢看起來很緊張，他想過關到深圳，並傳送一張關於解放軍集結的照片給陳，此後，李孟居與外界失去聯絡。據其後中國媒體的報導，李孟居前往深圳碼頭準備離開中國時，被國家安全機關拘捕。 25日，陳亞麟向中華民國大陸委員會 （下稱陸委會）通報李失蹤，要求協助搜尋。陳亞麟表示，他曾詢問深圳市公安局，對方表示沒有李孟居入境到深圳的訊息，要他向香港警方查詢。 28日，陸委會證實李孟居失蹤。
2019年9月11日，中國的國務院台灣事務辦公室發言人稱李孟居因涉嫌從事危害國家安全的犯罪活動，已被依法審查，但未披露具體的經辦單位。 11月30日《廣州日報》報導，此前的10月31日，經深圳市人民檢察院批准，李孟居因涉嫌為境外刺探、非法提供國家秘密罪，被深圳市國家安全局逮捕。
失蹤一年多後，2020年10月11日，中國中央電視台《焦點訪談》節目詳細介紹了李孟居一案以及所謂的台獨組織「台灣聯合國協進會」。節目指李是個「別有用心的商人」，2019年到香港支援「黑衣暴徒」後，前往深圳灣體育場偷拍武警集結的情況，被警方喝斥後仍持續偷拍，意圖錄下武警操練的聲音。他於8月20日往深圳碼頭離境時，被國家安全機關抓捕。他在節目中「認罪」：「我真的很抱歉啊。過去做了很多不好的錯事，對祖國對國家或許有一些傷害。」
台灣陸委會對該節目內容回應道，此事為惡意政治炒作，誣陷台灣人民從事間諜行為。
從李被捕一年多來，中國未落實國際法上對於刑事逮捕程序、刑事被告的公平審判權，被告與家人及律師聯繫及見面的權利。李孟居在未享有人權保障的情況下，錄製自白及認罪影片，完全不符合司法程序。

Description:
Li Mengju travelled from Taiwan to Hong Kong on 18 August 2019, to show his support to the Hong Kong protesters in their demonstrations against the extradition bill. On 20 August 2019, he told his friend Chen Yalin (aka Archer Chen) in Taiwan, who is the chief of Fangliao Township, that the Chinese army had assembled at the Hong Kong-Shenzhen border and the situation was tense, he expressed his wish to go to Shenzhen, sent a photo of the Chinese army to Chen and went missing. According to the Chinese media reports much later, Li was detained by the national security officers when he wanted to leave China from Port of Shenzhen. On 25 August 2019, Chen Yalin sought help from Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council, as he could not reach Li since 20 August. Chen also contacted Shenzhen Municipal Public Security Bureau, which claimed that it did not have any information regarding Li Mengju’s entry to Shenzhen and asked him to contact the Hong Kong Police. On 28 August 2019, Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council confirmed Li’s disappearance.
On 11 September 2019, a spokesperson of the Taiwan Affairs Office, under the State Council of China stated that Li Mengju had been suspected of engaging in criminal activities which endanger national security, and therefore was under investigation in accordance with law. However, he did not disclose which department was in charge of it. On 30 November 2019, Guangzhou Daily reported that on 31 October, the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Procuratorate had approved the Shenzhen National Security Bureau’s application to formally arrest Li Mengju, on suspicion of spying for and illegally providing state secrets to a foreign entity.
On 11 October 2020, Chinese national broadcaster China Central Television (CCTV) revealed the details of Li’s case and the involvement of a so-called “Taiwan Independence" force after a year of Li’s forced disappearance. The show accused Li as “a businessman with certain other intentions", who went first to Hong Kong to support the “black-clad rioters" and then to Shenzhen Bay Sports Center to film the assembly of paramilitary armed police. It is reported that after being told to stop by the police, Li continued to film as he wanted to record the sound of the police assembly. Li was detained on the same day, as he was leaving China via the Port of Shenzhen. On CCTV, Li confessed: “I’m very sorry, and I feel that I have done a lot of wrong things that may have harmed the country.”
Taiwan’s Mainland Affairs Council commented that the accusations are purely “malicious political stunt” from the Chinese side, “falsely accusing our people of espionage” and “harming the relations between the two sides,” in a statement.
Since Li’s detention, China has not followed the international standards regarding criminal procedure, has not respected Li’s rights to a fair trial, to contact or meet his family and lawyer. The so-called television confession was made under the violations of these basic human rights and is entirely incompatible with the judicial procedure.
