#StandWithHongKong

UK APPG reconvenes with webinars on Hong Kong's future.

2/ This week, the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Hong Kong in collaboration with Stand with Hong Kong organised a webinar to host the city's last Governor, Lord Chris Patten.

3/ Lord Patten condemned the behaviour of the Hong Kong authorities, and called the Chinese Community Party “a threat to liberal democracies and open societies across the world.”

4/ The event, entitled ‘Hong Kong: what future for this formerly autonomous city?’, was well attended by dozens of British parliamentarians who heard Lord Patten call on them to "stand up for what we believe in, and protect human rights in this former autonomous city".

5/ The All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Hong Kong held another webinar with Stand with Hong Kong on 18th September, to which we welcomed Bill Browder, the international lobbyist behind the Magnistsky-style movement.

6/ We welcomed Bill Browder, the international lobbyist behind the Magnistsky-style movement, to speak with parliamentarians and campaigners about imposing sanctions on senior officials in Hong Kong for their gross violations of human rights laws.

7/ Bill Browder predicted that "all major civilized countries" will impose Magnitsky-style sanctions against senior Hong Kong officials within a year. We will make sure that prediction becomes a reality.
