Hong Kong esports influencer Liu Weijian, known as Toyz, was released on parole
and deported from Taiwan on 3 November 2026 after serving part of a
cannabis-trafficking sentence.[1][2] Officers from the immigration agency’s
Changhua County task force picked him up from Changhua Prison and carried out
the forced expulsion, barring him from returning to Taiwan for a set period.[3][2] Prosecutors ordered deportation in place of protective supervision after
the Taichung branch of the Taiwan High Court granted parole with protective
supervision on 20 October.[4][2]
He had been in prison since May 2024 serving a final combined sentence of 4
years and 2 months for selling cannabis vape cartridges, prosecuted as
second-level narcotics offences in Taiwan.[1][2] Investigators traced him after
police seized up to 200 cannabis cartridges from dealers in 2021, then
prosecuted him for selling second-level drugs and the court imposed the combined
term.[1]
He completed exit procedures late that morning and boarded a 1:10 p.m. flight to
Hong Kong.[4][2] Immigration said any future application by Liu to reside in
Taiwan through a Taiwan-registered spouse would face strict review, and it said
visitors must obey Taiwan’s laws.[1]

Open questions the AI reported
- The detention site is called Changhua Prison by Liberty Times and United Daily News, while ETtoday says the 8 a.m. pickup was at Erlin Prison; this report uses Changhua Prison.
- United Daily News says Taichung Airport in its text and Taoyuan Airport in its push summary, while ETtoday gives only the 1:10 p.m. flight to Hong Kong; this report omits the airport.
- The 1:10 p.m. flight time and late-morning procedure window come only from the ETtoday account.
- The 200 cartridges were held by other dealers in 2021 and used to trace Liu, not seized from him, and no weight was published, so no cannabis weight is counted.
- The Liberty Times lead image is marked as file material and is not listed as event media; the listed photos are the Changhua task-force handout via ETtoday.
- The sources refer conditionally to a Taiwan-registered spouse but do not name her or confirm a marriage, so this report states only the review requirement.
