Hong Kong's democratic dreams have been trashed by Chinese power grab - the UK must use #Magnitsky sanctions

A blatant attempt to silence our democratically elected parliamentarians. Shame on you #CCPChina

"while Beijing might be able to knock us off the internet for a few hours – nothing will stop our members standing up for the Uyghurs, Hongkongers, and everyone else oppressed by Xi’s regime”

It’s devastating to hear @captaintommoore passed away @ age 100 after tested for #COVID19. He raised >£30m for NHS last year. He was truly a hero during this national crisis. His inspiration & spirit will never be forgotten. Our hearts go out to his family.
May you rest in peace

A year & a half ago, I had a reporting gig & was standing outside the British Consulate in HK as people demonstrated for expanded BNO rights. If you’d asked me then what are the chances of it happening, I’d have told you, emphatically, 0%.

Today, the UK’s BNO visa scheme opens.

[Dominic Raab @DominicRaab]

Beijing’s imposition of new rules to disqualify elected legislators in Hong Kong constitutes a clear breach of the Joint Declaration. We will hold China to the obligations it freely assumed under international law

[Priti Patel MP @pritipatel]

Delighted to confirm that the Hong Kong BN(O) Visa will be open for applications from 31 January 2021.

The UK has a strong historic relationship with the people of Hong Kong. @DominicRaab and I are keeping our promise and upholding their freedoms.

Thank you so much to the sender - heartwarming and deeply appreciated.

Following our letter to @ukhomeoffice last month, an additional path to LOTR status for HK BNO citizens has been added to the BNO guidance page. HKB will continue representing the interests of HKers in the UK and communicating the needs of our community.

#HongKongers: Today our 12 brothers & sisters who tried to flee #HongKong & are now in jail in #China are much in my thoughts & prayers - as they have been every day since their ordeal began

So I wrote these characters, inspired by
@appledaily_hk

I say: Please #save12hkyouths

We thank @GOVUK @pritipatel and all officials to offer such concrete support to #HongKongers. This is not the end, but just the beginning of our fight. Hong Kong is not a place but its people.

We are excited to see @HongkongersUK’s latest campaign to build a home, a neighbourhood and a community to #HongKongers in the #UK. We hope you’d chip in for the future of Hongkongers in Britain. You may say he’s a #dreamer, but he’s not the only one.

We are pleased to witness that Captain Sir Tom Moore was conferred as the Honour of Knighthood by Her Majesty. His devotion, determination to fight against #COVID__19 is admirable, and his contribution to the NHS is much appreciated.

We wish @captaintommoore all the best!

Arise, Captain Sir Thomas Moore!

Today The Queen conferred the Honour of Knighthood on @captaintommoore at an Investiture at #WindsorCastle.

[🇬🇧Britons in Hong Kong #HKStandsWithUK @BritonsHK]

Thank you @GwynnelMP @pritipatel & @GOVUK for working continuously on measures to help the young generation of #Hongkongers who are most vulnerable at the moment under the threat of #NationalSecurityLaw & police brutality. We look forward to seeing the announcement of the policy

We welcome @GOVUK’s decision to root out #Huawei, a company heavily influenced by #CCP. This act would significantly lower the potential cybersecurity risks. Apart from it, the gov should plan out more concrete actions in other aspects to fight against China’s aggression.

[The Telegraph @Telegraph]

🔴 Huawei 5G equipment will be banned from the end of this year, Oliver Dowden has confirmed.

The National Security Council has agreed to ban all sales of new equipment from December 31, with all existing equipment due to be ripped out by 2027.

We very much welcome this sanction made by @GOVUK. In light of the recent #NationalSecurityLaw, officials of the #HongKong gov & the #CCP should be on the list. Violating human rights has consequences and It’s time the UK shows the world that #HumanRights matter!

[Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office @FCDOGovUK]

The new ‘Magnitsky’-style sanctions regime will target those who have been involved in some of the gravest human rights violations and abuses around the world.
