If you live in the US, please contact your representatives using our online tool and urge them to pass the HKETO Certification Act. It’s time to shut down Hong Kong’s repression hubs operating on US soil.

Act here: https://t.co/8BgV6IqNJo

Big thanks to @JillianKayM and @WSJopinion for this piece, which pulls together my new @CSR_Institute briefing on Venezuela's shadow fleet ties to Hong Kong with the report I published earlier this month with @TheCFHK on Iran's ties to Hong Kong.

The two reports tell similar and overlapping stories. In Venezuela, Hong Kong shell companies and corporate secretaries are the legal scaffolding behind sanctioned oil tankers. In Iran, that same machinery operates at full scale: shipping companies brokering oil sales, banks laundering the proceeds, exporters sending drone and missile parts that turn up on battlefields in Ukraine and the Middle East, and capital markets financing the surveillance tech being used against Iranian protesters.

In both cases, Western sanctions keep chasing the disposable shell companies at the top of this architecture, while the established firms beneath them — corporate secretaries, banks, logistics providers, tech exporters — keep operating untouched.

Deeply honored to receive this award on June 4, a day that reminds us of the courage of Tiananmen.
This award belongs to the generations who came before me—those who marched for freedom in #HongKong & #China and are bearing the cost of freedom. Nothing will stop me from fighting.

VOC is proud to announce that the 2026 Dissident Human Rights Award will be presented to @frances_hui, a democracy and human rights activist from Hong Kong.

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

It was an honor to present @FreedomHouse's Freedom Award to Claire Lai, who accepted on behalf of her father, Jimmy Lai.

In recognizing Jimmy, we send a message to Beijing: we remember, we are watching, and we won't stop until Jimmy Lai and all political prisoners are free.

[Jonathan Stivers @jonstivers]

Hong Kong is THE global hub for finance, arms & restricted technology to Iran & Russia. If the US is serious about curbing support for those regimes, it should sanction HK banks & pass the Stop CCP Money Laundering Act @SenJohnCurtis @SenJeffMerkley @RepJoeWilson @RepJimmyPanetta

[Rick Scott @SenRickScott]

Joshua Wong is facing up to life in PRISON. His only real “crime” was having the courage to stand up for his God-given rights in Communist controlled Hong Kong.

This is wrong. The oppression needs to end. Joshua must be RELEASED.

[Freedom House @freedomhouse]

Freedom House is grateful to @SpeakerPelosi and all congressional leaders speaking out on behalf of Jimmy Lai and other political prisoners unjustly detained in China and Hong Kong. Next week, Freedom House will honor Jimmy Lai with this year’s Freedom Award at our Annual Awards and 85th Anniversary celebration in recognition of his courageous defense of free expression and democracy. #FreeJimmyLai #FreeThemAll

[Mark Simon @MarkSimonHK]

Anytime @POTUS can free a religious prisoner it's good news for everyone. It's not a zero sum game.

BRING JIMMY LAI HOME!

[Samuel Bickett @SamuelBickett]

.@MarkLClifford of @thecfhk on how Hong Kong has become a vital pipeline for the Iranian regime to obtain financing, and why Treasury's current sanctions approach isn't enough. The fix: designate Hong Kong a primary money laundering concern and start targeting the banks, not just the shells.

[Hong Kong Democracy Council @hkdc_us]

After the convictions in the HKETO spy trial in London, it's far past time for the US gov't to take action on Hong Kong Economic & Trade Offices in the US. We concur with @megan_khoo: Congress should pass the #HKETOCertificationAct NOW. https://t.co/uPdYd9Gzv0

[Columbia Global Freedom of Expression @ColumbiaGFoE]

As international attention turns to meetings between American & Chinese delegations, our interview with @AnnaKwokFY, a prominent voice calling for democracy in Hong Kong, written by Anastasiia Vorozhtsova, feels especially urgent.

[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

CPJ is grateful to @SenatorDurbin and @SenTedCruz for leading the effort to pass the unanimous bipartisan U.S. Senate resolution calling for the immediate release of Hong Kong publisher Jimmy Lai.

Journalism is not a crime, and Jimmy Lai must be freed immediately and unconditionally.

[Select Committee on China @ChinaSelect]

The CCP is terrified of people who believe in freedom and faith.

Jimmy Lai, Pastor Ezra Jin and others like them fighting for basic freedoms and civil liberties are not criminals. They are prisoners of conscience whose only “offense” is standing up for basic human rights.

As America marks its 250th anniversary, we must continue to fight for freedom and liberty and demand the release of these prisoners of conscience.

[Mike Pence @Mike_Pence]

Please @SupportJimmyLai Mr. President. Only You Can #FreeJimmyLai 🙏🏻🇺🇸🇨🇳

[Nancy Pelosi @SpeakerPelosi]

Jimmy Lai and other human rights activists are wrongly imprisoned in China for daring to speak truth to power.

As the President travels with a delegation of business leaders, he must ensure that human rights in China are not secondary to commercial interests.
