The Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong (CFHK) Foundation was established in 2022 to fight for Hong Kong and its people in the wake of China’s national security crackdown.

First and foremost, the Foundation campaigns to secure the release of Hong Kong’s unjustly imprisoned political prisoners and advocates for their exoneration. We defend the values for which those prisoners have sacrificed so much: rule of law, freedom of the press, and freedom of expression. These are Hong Kong’s core values, their protection long promised but now denied by the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and its party-state apparatus. Through public pressure, government advocacy, and innovative research, we seek to rally an international response to human rights abuses in Hong Kong and ensure that those responsible for suppressing the city’s freedoms face profound political and economic consequences.

hong kong in relation to china

When Hong Kong was returned to mainland communist rule in 1997, Hong Kong’s people were promised the freedom to run their city. Instead, the world is watching as the Chinese Communist Party destroys a free society. Hong Kong is on the front lines of one of the great challenges of our time, the contest between a free people and a repressive regime.

The CFHK Foundation was founded to counter increasing Chinese government repression in Hong Kong and the rapid erosion of the city’s freedoms, particularly following the 2019 pro-democracy protests and Beijing’s imposition of the 2020 National Security Law.
