HKMA are now leaning heavily on financial institutions to report transactions tied to 'NSL offences' to police.
Banks must push back and not be complicit in gross human rights abuses and the silencing of Hong Kong's democratic movement.

NEW: Further details announced on the Government's BN(O) scheme.
Good to see that, following campaigning, the fees announced are considerably lower than what was initially floated. Now UK must consider catering for Hong Kongers under the age of 23.

NEW: Ireland have officially revoked their extradition treaty with Hong Kong! 🇮🇪🇭🇰
We welcome this step, but there are still far too many EU countries which have extradition treaties with the mainland.
This must change.

UPDATE: Netherlands have also revoked their treaty with Hong Kong.

Pleased to be working with @nathanlawkc to call for NZ to offer pathways to citizenship for young Hong Kongers.

Every time an activist is arrested under the National Security Law, the world is reminded that Beijing's introduction of thought crimes into Hong Kong is a flagrant violation of international law and their human rights commitments.

Important thread on why @jacindaardern should consider offering a pathway to citizenship for HK students.
UK BNO scheme doesn't cover under 23s, New Zealand should help plug the gap.

Statement: We condemn the arrest of Tony Chung and two other activists under the NSL. The National Security Law is an appalling assault on Hong Kong's fundamental freedoms and the rule of law which introduces vague thought crimes into HK law.

We're pleased to be supporting @nathanlawkc in this campaign.
There is a big gap for younger people in the UK's BNO lifeline policy. We're asking @jacindaardern to offer refuge to the Hong Kongers who most need it. twitter.com/nathanlawkc/st…

Hong Kong police to set-up a multi-platform channel to encourage informants to report national security crimes.
This is a terrifying and dystopian development.

This is unacceptable. A 19-year-old student accused of a cocktail of oppressive charges has now been denied bail.
Meanwhile Beijing are adopting high-tech stasi-style tactics through the roll-out of a new app for informants.

“The longer we leave it without an offer in place, from different countries including NZ, the more likely it is that vulnerable young activists could face arrest, and long prison sentences," said @benedictrogers, asking @jacindaardern to offer sanctuary.
