Thank you Sky News for featuring exiled #HongKong activists living under the shadow of #transnationalrepression in 🇬🇧, including our Advisor Finn Lau. It is high time the UK government protected their safety by blocking the 🇨🇳 super embassy. news.sky.com/story/i-dont...

In this article on Jimmy Lai, our Senior Research and Policy Advisor Thomas Benson cautions against prioritising 🇨🇳 trade over human rights. Keir Starmer should uphold our values and secure the release of this 🇬🇧 citizen jailed in #HongKong. #FreeJimmyLai www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2...

We stand with @samuelbickett.bsky.social and all political prisoners enduring physical, sexual and systemic abuse in #HongKong. International governments and bodies must heed their cry and act urgently to end atrocities happening behind prison walls. nypost.com/2025/09/07/o...

📑 Hong Kong Watch Briefing on Human Rights Developments in #HongKong: August 2025 In August, Jimmy Lai’s trial entered its final stage, a journalist’s work visa renewal was denied, and overseas activists’ passports were cancelled. Read more here: www.hongkongwatch.org/all-posts/20...

🧵 Today outside 🇬🇧 Parliament, Hong Kong Watch is joined by MPs and #BNO Hong Kongers to call on the UK government to maintain the ‘5+1’ pathway for BNOs. #StandbyBNOs #NoBrokenPromises

In #HongKong today, everything is about national security. Compulsory ‘patriotic education’ is nothing other than an ideological tool to entrench authoritarian rule. hongkongfp.com/2025/09/03/n...

🚨UPCOMING DEBATE🚨 Next Monday, Parliament will debate the e-petition to keep the 5-year ILR terms for #BNO visa holders. Join us to encourage your local MP to attend the debate and show their support for the BNO community👇 www.hongkongwatch.org/all-posts/20... #StandByBNOs #NoBrokenPromises

Six years on from the ‘831 incident’ in #HongKong, our co-founder and Trustee Benedict Rogers has written this message to remember this tragic anniversary and stand with Hong Kongers 👇

As we approach the sixth anniversary of the ‘831’ incident in #HongKong, our co-founder and Trustee Benedict Rogers remembers the courage of Hong Kongers who stood up for their basic freedoms despite appalling acts of police brutality. www.ucanews.com/news/remembe...

The #HongKong government has denied a work visa to a @bloomberg.com journalist 'without reason'. Without government transparency and media freedom, Hong Kong's future as an international financial hub is jeopardised. Businesses should take note. hongkongfp.com/2025/08/23/b...

UK Home Office reports that nearly 600 #BNOs have been granted settlement status. However, for many of the over 166,000 BNOs in the UK, their pathway to settlement remains unclear. The UK government must stand by the people of #HongKong and maintain the '5+1' pathway. #StandByBNOs #NoBrokenPromises

Today, we joined 72 groups in urging Prime Minister Keir Starmer to demand the release of Jimmy Lai, whose health has sharply declined recently. PM Keir Starmer has said that securing the release of Jimmy Lai is a priority. Now is the time to put word to action and #FreeJimmyLai. rsf.org/s/95334

Hong Kong authorities has summoned 🇬🇧 and 🇦🇺 envoys over asylum grants for two #HongKong activists, including our Advisor Ted Hui. This is pure political theatre designed to dissuade governments from protecting those fleeing repression. Enough. www.bbc.com/news/article...

📣 Join our co-founder and Trustee Benedict Rogers at the next protest against 🇨🇳 super embassy on Saturday 23 Aug 2pm, from the HKETO to Whitehall, to stand against #transnationalrepression. #StopSuperSurveillance #DefendDiasporas

This 🇺🇸 State Department report outlines the significant deterioration of human rights in #HongKong in 2024, including the decline in press freedom, arbitrary arrest and detention under national security laws, and #transnationalrepression against Hong Kongers overseas 👇 www.state.gov/reports/2024...

Further delay in the closing arguments of Jimmy Lai’s show trial in #HongKong, due to medical reasons, raises concerns over his health and confinement conditions. International governments must take action to #FreeJimmyLai and press for consular access. hongkongfp.com/2025/08/15/j...

As closing arguments in the trial of #HongKong’s Apple Daily founder and British citizen Jimmy Lai have been delayed, we once again call for his release and urge governments, especially the UK government, to turn their words into urgent action. #FreeJimmyLai www.independent.co.uk/asia/china/j...

Hong Kong Watch joins @article19.bsky.social and others in writing to Lisa Nandy MP on RedBird Capital’s potential acquisition of the Telegraph in light of its ties to #China. The UK must ensure that public interest is protected from foreign media influence. www.theguardian.com/media/2025/a...

The G7 Rapid Response Mechanism has issued a statement condemning the #HongKong government's latest round of arrest warrants and bounties on overseas activists. #TransnationalRepression against activists must always be condemned. hk.usconsulate.gov/n-2025080801/

#HongKong activist Joshua Wong’s national security case, where he was accused of ‘conspiring to collude with foreign forces’, is set to be transferred to the High Court. If convicted, he faces up to life imprisonment. hongkongfp.com/2025/08/08/h...

The #HongKong government has once again cancelled passports of overseas activists, further to issuing arrest warrants against them last month. hongkongfp.com/2025/08/04/h...

Lengthening the ‘5+1’ pathway for those on the #BNO visa is counterproductive to the UK government’s objectives over migration policy. 🇬🇧 must stand by the people of #HongKong and maintain the BNO scheme in its current form. #StandByBNOs #NoBrokenPromises

#TransnationalRepression seeks to silence #HongKong activists living in 🇬🇧 - like @carmenlau.bsky.social. Our police must protect at-risk activists, and not push them to self-censor. Doing so simply appeases hostile foreign state actors. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/j...

📣 We are recruiting two part-time staff members to join our 🇨🇦 team: (1) an Ottawa-based Advocacy and Communications Officer and (2) a Toronto-based Community Outreach Officer. Please find the job and application details here: hongkongwatch.org/work-with-us

Hong Kong Watch condemns #HongKong national security police’s extraterritorial targeting of 19 Hong Kongers who peacefully exercise their political rights overseas, through arrest warrants and bounties. Any attempt of #transnationalrepression must not be tolerated. hongkongfp.com/2025/07/25/b...

Welcoming #BNOs to contribute to 🇬🇧 is economically sensible and fiscally beneficial. The UK government must stand by the people of #HongKong and maintain the ‘5+1’ pathway of the BNO scheme. #StandByBNOs #NoBrokenPromises

🇬🇧 has a moral and historical duty to the people of #HongKong. Now is the time for the UK government to demonstrate that they will live up to its commitment by maintaining the ‘5+1’ pathway of the #BNO scheme. #StandByBNOs #NoBrokenPromises
