YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

In an Urgent Question to the Foreign Secretary, Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs spokesperson Layla Moran MP has urged for sanctions on Hong Kong officials involved in the targeting of pro-democracy activists.

The UK is currently yet to sanction anyone implicated in the crackdown on democracy in Hong Kong. The US issued sanctions in 2020 - including against Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam.

Earlier this week, Hong Kong National Security Police issued arrest warrants and bounties against pro-democracy activists living overseas. Three of the activists live in the UK, including Nathan Law.

Layla Moran also called on the Foreign Secretary to meet with the pro-democracy activists who have been targeted.

Liberal Democrat Foreign Affairs spokesperson Layla Moran MP said:

“It is beyond time to use sanctions against Hong Kong officials involved in these latest chilling actions.

“I am staggered that we are yet to sanction a single individual involved in the crackdown on democracy and liberty in Hong Kong. The UK should be leading when it comes to Hong Kong - yet this Government appears content to lag behind our allies.

“We must send a robust response to these latest threats. Nobody on UK soil should ever feel threatened by another country for standing up for freedom.”
