Outrageous and very concerning
The international community must respond robustly to yet another flagrant breach of an international treaty and fundamental human rights

What does the new HK Immigration Bill do? Why do the authorities claim they need it? What are the concerns of civil society/the legal sector? Could the law be used to stop activists & HKers leaving the city? HKW's explainer answers these important Qs. https://t.co/t39BHpizkN
#BREAKING: Hong Kong’s legislature today gives the city’s immigration director a new power to restrict people from entering and leaving Hong Kong. City security chief, John Lee, stresses that the amendment will not affect people’s freedom to enter or leave the city.

Thank you @DominicRaab for your support for #HongKong
The UK does indeed have a proud history of providing protection for those who need it - and we must always continue to do so.

8 of #12HKyouths will return to #HongKong tmr after 7-mo imprisonment in Shenzhen, but their ordeal is far from over - they face riot and absconding charges and Andy Li will be charged under #NationalSecurityLaw. This is a gross injustice and we must continue to #save12HKyouths
📢This is it, folks. The final vote on the #GenocideAmendment is today.
Last opportunity to tweet/write to your MP to ask them to vote with their consciences + for #Uyghurs.
