Great to catch up with @MichaelChongMP today to discuss the human rights crisis in Hong Kong, the urgent need for Canada to introduce #Magnitsky sanctions, & our campaign to ensure that Hong Kongers with protest related convictions are able to access Canada's #lifeboat scheme.

How do Baillie Gifford square their ties with firms such as BGI Genomics or Chinese tech firms that helped to develop the Xinjiang surveillance, ask @denniswhkwok and @Johnny_HKWatch, referring to ideas in our new report.

Hugely grateful to the senior Parliamentarians from across the House of Commons, led by @DamianGreen, who are backing this amendment to allow the descendants of BNOs to access the visa scheme.

The kafka-esque judgments of the Hong Kong courts get steadily more absurd. Today an Apple Daily executive was denied bail because @DominicRaab issued a statement as Foreign Sec to condemn his arrest.
Young Hong Kongers need a path to citizenship now.

.@DamianGreen said Britain has a “moral obligation” to the young Hong Kong citizens who are currently excluded from the programme and urged ministers to accept his amendment in order to offer young people a lifeline and rectify an “unfair” policy.

Great speech by @AndrewRosindell during the Hong Kong debate in Parliament yesterday. Great to see him push the Government to adopt @DamianGreen's amendment to the Borders Bill which would offer young Hong Kongers a vital lifeline.

“At twenty years old, Tony Chung is the youngest person to be sentenced under this draconian law. He will not be the last."
