The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office comments on the sentencing of Jimmy Lai and other pro-democracy figures in Hong Kong.
16 April 2021
Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office spokesperson said:
The Hong Kong authorities' decision to target leading pro-democracy figures for prosecution is unacceptable and must stop.
The right to peaceful protest is fundamental to Hong Kong's way of life - protected in both the Joint Declaration and the Basic Law - and it should be upheld.
