The Immigration Department of Hong Kong Special Administrative Region said it received today a notification from the US government that Edward Snowden's US passport had been revoked.

Edward Snowden is forbidden to re-enter Hong Kong.

Under Hong Kong law, a passenger coming to Hong Kong must possess a valid travel document.

The department said it has already notified all airlines that Mr Snowden would not be allowed to enter Hong Kong. Therefore, all airlines should not allow him to board any Hong Kong-bound flights.
