The EU condemns the decision of Hong Kong authorities to issue arrest warrants under the National Security Law for eight pro-democracy activists living outside of Hong Kong. The extra-territorial application of this law is only adding to our existing concerns.

EU regrets conviction of Cardinal Zen, Margaret Ng, Hui Po Keung, Cyd Ho, Denise Ho and Sze Ching-wee. Another example of how laws are selectively used to suppress dissenting voices. HK authorities should fully protect civil & political rights, especially freedom of association
