Foreign Secretary statement on the expulsion of pro-democracy legislators in Hong Kong
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab comments on the disqualification of four pro-democracy lawmakers in Hong Kong.
Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said:
China鈥檚 decision to arbitrarily remove elected pro-democracy Hong Kong legislators from their positions represents a further assault on Hong Kong鈥檚 high degree of autonomy and freedoms under the UK-China Joint Declaration.
This campaign to harass, stifle and disqualify democratic opposition tarnishes China鈥檚 international reputation and undermines Hong Kong鈥檚 long-term stability.
