Foreign Secretary Liz Truss said:
The unjustifiable action taken against the UK-based NGO Hong Kong Watch is clearly an attempt to silence those who stand up for human rights in Hong Kong.
The Chinese Government and Hong Kong authorities must respect the universal right to freedom of speech, and uphold that right in Hong Kong in accordance with international commitments, including the Joint Declaration.
Attempting to silence voices globally that speak up for freedom and democracy is unacceptable and will never succeed.
