Hong Kong watch: Foreign Secretary's statement, March 2022
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss gave a statement on the unjustifiable action taken against the UK-based non-governmental organisation (NGO) Hong Kong Watch.
Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said:
皇冠体育app unjustifiable action taken against the UK-based NGO Hong Kong Watch is clearly an attempt to silence those who stand up for human rights in Hong Kong.
皇冠体育app Chinese Government and Hong Kong authorities must respect the universal right to freedom of speech, and uphold that right in Hong Kong in accordance with international commitments, including the Joint Declaration.
Attempting to silence voices globally that speak up for freedom and democracy is unacceptable and will never succeed.
