FCDO Issues Statement on Hong Kong District Council Elections

A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) spokesperson said:

In local elections yesterday, many voices from Hong Kong's District Councils were excluded from participating. Meaningful opposition in Hong Kong's electoral system is being eliminated.

We strongly urge the Hong Kong Government to uphold its international commitments and respect the civil rights and freedoms of Hong Kong citizens.
