Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said:
The Hong Kong National Security Law breaches the internationally-binding Joint Declaration, and is now being used to charge Jimmy Lai. This highlights the authorities’ continued attacks on the rights and freedoms of its people.
We have raised this case with the authorities in Hong Kong and call on them to end their targeting of Lai and other pro-democracy voices.
