Hong Kong (AFP) - Hong Kong bookseller Lee Bo, who went missing three months ago and surfaced in China, is already on his way back over the border after a brief return home, local media reported.

British citizen Lee, 65, returned to Hong Kong Thursday after disappearing in late December, in a case that has raised alarm over Beijing's tightening grip on the region.

But Lee crossed back into the mainland Friday, just a day after he arrived, according to local media who followed him to the border.

"It's a release with Chinese characteristics," China expert Willy Lam of the Chinese University of Hong Kong told AFP.

"The fact of the matter is that he has not really been fully released... he needs to report back to China," he said.
