🚨 Today, Hong Kong Watch is launching a new report analysing the dismantling of #HongKong’s autonomy and the exploitation of Hong Kong’s special status under ‘one country, two systems’. Read in full here: hongkongwatch.org/all-posts/…

📑 Our October briefing outlines how the rule of law and civil liberties in #HongKong continued to be eroded, including the start of the trial of @AnnaKwokFY’s father, preparations for the forthcoming ‘patriots-only’ LegCo election, and the barring of 13 films from screening.

Yesterday, we concluded our series of launch events for our new report on #HongKong’s special status with a panel discussion at @HudsonInstitute, featuring @michaelsobolik, @_joeysiu, @johnddotson, @tom_kellogg, and our Senior Research and Policy Advisor Thomas Benson. We highlighted the interconnection between human rights and economy, and called on 🇺🇸 to maintain its support for Hong Kong in negotiations with 🇨🇳 hongkongwatch.org/all-posts/…

Our heartfelt thanks go to our Patron @DavidAltonHL for delivering this powerful speech in @UKHouseofLords, setting out the need for statutory protection for the #BNO scheme via an amendment to the Border Security Bill. @GOVUK must stand by its moral and historic commitment to the people of #HongKong. #StandbyBNOs #NoBrokenPromises

I urged the Government to honour its word to Hong Kongers who have settled in the U.K. and to provide certainty and security. I also referenced the need to define the position of Ukrainian women and children in the U.K. Government agreed to hold meetings with me and colleagues to take the discussion forward.

.@carmenkamanlau: “Placing 🇨🇳 in the enhanced tier of #FIRS and rejecting the Chinese mega-embassy proposal are the minimum actions needed to rebuild the #HongKong community’s trust in this government’s commitment to our safety.”

Our Patron @DavidAltonHL of @HumanRightsCtte: “We cannot afford to ignore the national security risks faced by diaspora groups within 🇬🇧, and it would be disreputable and irresponsible to turn a blind eye to these risks in the name of improving economic relations.”

Our Advisor @finnlau_cd: “I call on @GOVUK to take these reasonable steps to strengthen our national security against foreign influence.”

🚨 Today, Hong Kong Watch, alongside 24 #HongKong and other diaspora groups, issued a joint letter to @Keir_Starmer calling on @GOVUK to take a stronger stance against national security threats posed by 🇨🇳. hongkongwatch.org/all-posts/…

Thank you to @SalmaZahid15 of #CIMM for meeting with us to discuss solutions to clear the #HongKongPathway backlog, which has left many in uncertainty. We look forward to continued collaboration with you to urge the government to increase quotas and fix administrative errors that caused wrongful OOWP rejections, and to better support Hong Kongers rebuilding their lives in 🇨🇦.

Grateful to meet with @SameerZuberi of #CIMM to discuss the urgent challenges facing #HongKongPathway applicants, including limited H&C quotas – with delays leaving some waiting over a decade for PR. Thank you for addressing #HongKong’s political prisoners, #transnationalrepression, and the plight of those who fled persecution and are now stuck in 🇨🇦 system.

Many thanks to @jowhite__, @paulharrissc, @chungchingkwong and Dr. Yuka Kobayashi for sharing your insight and expert opinions.
