NO INFORMATION SHARING WITH AUTHORITARIANS. @MPIainDS has tabled an amendment to the Cyber Security and Resilience Bill to stop 🇨🇳 and other authoritarian regimes from abusing information sharing agreements. The amendment would prevent 🇬🇧 from sharing private information with overseas authorities in jurisdictions where the right to a fair trial cannot be guaranteed, including China and #HongKong. We need your support! Urge your MP to support the amendment with our template letter: hongkongwatch.org/all-posts/…

(5/5) @MarkJSewards highlighted @theCFHK’s @Chloe_chc_25 and a chilling truth: as #FreeJimmyLai is sentenced, #HongKongers in the UK face ongoing harassment by the #CCP

(4/5) Labour’s @alexsobel is right. @Keir_Starmer rolled out the red carpet for the #CCP—a #megaembassy and a visit. China’s response? A death sentence for a British citizen.

(3/5) New APPG on Hong Kong chair @emily4MK nailed it: there is no judicial independence in #HongKong. The UK must now hold those responsible for this political persecution to account.

This decision - which I have fought hard to stop - will be felt most acutely by Hongkongers who have made their home here over the past five years under the BN(O) visa scheme in good faith, trusting the UK government to stand by its commitments to their safety and freedoms. (1/6)

🇭🇰 On the eve of today's expected announcement of the planning decision on Beijing's "mega-embassy" application, yesterday evening I asked the Foreign Office Minister whether she shares any of my concerns.

Today’s verdict will be extremely distressing for the Hongkonger community here in the UK. The trial of Mr. Lai speaks of the ongoing critical necessity of a humanitarian route for Hongkongers to repatriate to the UK. I've signed this joint statement reflecting on the verdict 👇

Jimmy Lai’s trial is a travesty of justice which discredits anyone involved with it. Joint statement from 76 lawmakers across 30 countries. 來自30個國家的76位立法者發聲明，重申黎智英的審訊是一場踐踏公義的鬧劇，使該案所有參與者自失其格。

🇭🇰 BREAKING: Hongkongers on BN(O) visas will continue to have a five-year pathway to indefinite leave to remain. Six months of campaigning has resulted in the result we were hoping for from the government, with clarity for Hongkongers. (1/6)

📢 Say NO to China’s “Mega-embassy” at Royal Mint Court in London! This "mega-embassy" could become a base for transnational surveillance and repression of dissidents, just like the Manchester Consulate attack on a Hong Kong protester and China’s secret “overseas police stations” used to monitor exiled Hongkongers, Uyghurs, and Tibetans. 📅 Date: Sat, 8 Feb 2025 🕑 Time: 2–4 PM 📍 Location: Royal Mint Court, London EC3N 4AB 👉 Join us to defend freedom and stand against China’s transnational repression! The more people, the stronger the message. See you there! #NoToChineseEmbassy #DefendFreedom #LondonProtest #TransnationalRepression
