The National Immigration Agency says it has deported a Chinese couple accused

of disrupting a pro-democracy event in Taipei organized by Hong Kong

residents.

According to the agency, the couple were escorted (護送，押送) by immigration

China.

The immigration agency says it has also cancelled their entry permits for

end of September, but that person had returned to China in July.

rules when applying for temporary entry permits based on visiting family

members living in Taiwan.

The couple were filmed harassing group of Hong Kongers earlier this week in

Taipei's Ximending before being taken away by police.

Environment ministers of the Group of 20 nations agreed Thursday to support

A 31-year-long treasure hunt that drew in thousands of enthusiasts across

France appears to have come to an end after official social media accounts

linked to the search said the token needed to claim the grand prize had been

found.

The hunt, “On the Trail of the Golden Owl,” was based on a book of riddles

published in 1993.

Participants had to solve 11 puzzles in the book — and a 12th one that was

hidden — to decipher the exact location of the token

(代幣，有象徵意義的物品), which would then be exchanged for the real prize,

an owl made of silver and gold and studded with diamond chips.

It has an estimated worth of about 165-thousand US dollars.
