Today, our Policy Director @megan_khoo spoke on a panel at the #HongKong Fair in Sweden, speaking to the erosion of democracy in Hong Kong, why it matters to the EU, and what liberal democracies should consider in their relationship with 🇨🇳 With Hong Kong targeting an 🇪🇺 citizen with an arrest warrant and bounty for pro-democracy activism, and 🇬🇧 citizen Jimmy Lai facing life imprisonment, the EU must urgently match its human rights commitments with action. @Stand_with_HK @HRF @NgoDeiOrg

#FreeJimmyLai
Freedom House@freedomhouse

“Every time we say Jimmy Lai’s name, we send a message to Beijing and to all who imprison people for their beliefs: we remember, we are watching, and we will not stop until Jimmy Lai and all political prisoners are free.” At Freedom House’s Annual Awards and 85th Anniversary celebration, @SpeakerPelosi and @robertcobrien honored Jimmy Lai as he received the Freedom Award. #FreeJimmyLai #FreedomHouse85 @SupportJimmyLai

Thank you to our Patron Lord Alton of Liverpool for raising the sharp decline of human rights in #HongKong and #FreeJimmyLai during the King’s Speech debate👇
Lord (David) Alton@DavidAltonHL

Speaking in the King’s Speech debate today I challenged dependency on dictatorships and the urgent need to strengthening resilience. Referred to Putin’s War in Ukraine, Uyghur genocide, North Korea’s crimes against humanity, Iran, Hong Kong, Jimmy Lai, and CCP persecution of religious minorities and pro democracy advocates. I urged the implementation of the recommendations of @humanrightsctte on slave labour, universal jurisdiction and transnational repression. And flagged my forthcoming debate on atrocity crimes and genocide - and the failure to bring those responsible to account. @YvetteCooperMP, @Vernon_Coaker, @HelenaKennedyKC , @MahmutRahima, @EwelinaUO, @JennyChapman, @MartinCallanan, @JoyceAnelay, @pmounstephen, @MPIainDS, @ipacglobal, @hk_watch, @timfarron, @benedictrogers, @APPGNK2024, @UK_FoRBEnvoy.

In #HongKong today, lighting a candle in memory of June 4th is criminalised as ‘inciting subversion’. As closing arguments begin in the national security trial of two Tiananmen vigil organisers, we urge the authorities to uphold international obligations and drop the charges against those detained for peacefully exercising their fundamental rights. #FreeChowHangtung #FreeLeeCheukyan nbcnews.com/world/asia/hon…

We are very thankful to @POTUS for pressing Xi Jinping to #FreeJimmyLai, and urge him to continue demanding Lai’s release.
Rapid Response 47@RapidResponse47

.@POTUS tells reporters he discussed Pastor Ezra Jin and Jimmy Lai with President Xi: "I think he's giving very serious consideration to the pastor... he said Jimmy Lai is a tough one for him to do."

Canadians deserve to know what information RCMP is sharing w/China’s Ministry of Public Security. Liberal government has released other agreements from the January visit, yet this policing MOU remains secret. Transparency cannot be sacrificed for security. thecanadianpressnews.ca/politics/publi…

📈 Hong Kongers in the UK are overwhelmingly unhappy with the state of 🇬🇧-🇨🇳 relations. 95% of respondents said they were either dissatisfied or very dissatisfied. Current policy is not reassuring the #HongKong diaspora that @GOVUK is working to protect them. Read more: archive.fo/UnySj

We welcome the following motions from Liberal Democrat spokesperson on Foreign Affairs @CallumMillerLD. The #HongKong diaspora in the UK must be protected from transnational repression. That starts with placing 🇨🇳 and Hong Kong in the enhanced tier of the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme (FIRS). Following the convictions of the #HKETO espionage trial, there is no excuse for further delay on this issue.

Almost one year after he was arrested while in jail, the foreign collusion case of #HongKong activist Joshua Wong has been transferred to the High Court. If convicted, he faces up to life imprisonment. International governments must take action to end the unjust prosecution of Wong and many others. hongkongfp.com/2026/05/14/jai…
