Political Prisoners: the UK’s Response
Committee Room 13, House of Commons, London
Since 2019, the ongoing national security crackdown in Hong Kong has resulted in the imprisonment of more than 1,900 political prisoners, aged 13 to 76, roughly half of whom are still behind bars. The CFHK Foundation campaigns to secure the release of all political prisoners in Hong Kong, each of whom is a testament to the liberty the city has lost. Here are their stories:

Woke up to the terrifying news that the UK is approving the #ChinaMegaEmbassy. Utterly spineless decision ignoring intel, locals, and those targeted by transnational repression. A gutless move. They’ll regret it, and they’ll have only themselves to blame.
📰NEWSLETTER: Who are the 6 unidentified individuals (and 1 organisation) caught up in #HongKong's latest national security swoop?
Plus a campaign to make #JimmyLai an honorary Canadian, @funnyasiandude takes tainted tourism 🧧& more.

It's a DISGRACE that eminent #NewZealand judge William Young is helping whitewash repression in #HongKong by serving on its Court of Final Appeal.
Foreign judges must stop lending prestige to persecution in Hong Kong and quit the CFA today.

(1/3) Grateful to our ally @HelenMaguireMP for asking Security Minister @DanJarvisMBE whether #HongKongers in the UK were consulted in the Transnational Repression (TNR) review.
We look forward to seeing what “further engagement is planned” for the #HongKong community.
For 26 years, #AppleDaily, the publication founded by #JimmyLai 30 years ago today, went where others feared to tread.
Long live the spirit of Apple Daily. Long live #PressFreedom.
1/2 In @ThePost, @MarkLClifford writes on why William Young should quit #HongKong's top court:
"It’s a disgrace that Judge Young now works in a jurisdiction controlled by such a repressive government after his long and distinguished service in New Zealand. He should resign…
We @thecfhk support the MPs urging the UK govt to keep its promise to #HongKongers when they fled repression in #HongKong for Britain under the BNO scheme.
5 years for citizenship was the promise.
5 years (not 10!) is all they should have to wait.
Govt urged to keep citizenship promise to Hong Kongers - after threat to double timeline
Sir Keir Starmer announced in May he would be doubling the time immigrants have to be in the UK before they can get settled status.

#HongKong's plummet from international finance centre to hub for sanctions evasion and illicit finance takes the breath away.
Hard to think of a city that has fallen so far, so fast outside of wartime.
@newsgovhk Hong Kong continues in a downward spiral. @InvestHKNY is now only site we can access as @InvestHK is locked...
- Tells you all you need to know about operating in HK when their investment site has to lock.

Grateful to have met @BenMaguireNC recently to discuss the threats #HongKongers are facing, threats they should not be facing here in the #UK.
We expect real action from this government to take #TransnationalRepression seriously.
@HumanRightsCtte @DanJarvisMBE
I thank @BenMaguireNC for raising my case of being followed in the UK after the HK gov placed a HK$1million bounty on me & transnational repression inc. threat to #JimmyLai’s legal team.
We must prosecute hostile state actors & @metpoliceuk where are you on my case?
