Hong Kong National Security Law arrest warrants: Foreign Secretary’s statement

Foreign Secretary David Cameron said:

The Hong Kong police have again targeted individuals for exercising their right to freedom of expression. 

I have instructed officials in Hong Kong, Beijing and London to raise this issue as a matter of urgency with the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities.

We will not tolerate any attempt by any foreign power to intimidate, harass or harm individuals or communities in the UK. This is a threat to our democracy and fundamental human rights.

We call on Beijing to repeal the National Security Law and end its persecution of political activists.
