Laidan’s counsel from the Duty Lawyer Service applied for $300 bail on her behalf, and requested access to her phone so she could contact her friends to raise bail money. He said Laidan had lost her passport so she could not leave

application, citing the seriousness of the offense and the risk that she may
abscond. He told the defendant to go to Kwun Tong Court
