Sentencing of pro-democracy figures in Hong Kong FCDO statement

Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office spokesperson said:

The Hong Kong authorities' decision to target leading pro-democracy figures for prosecution is unacceptable and must stop.

The right to peaceful protest is fundamental to Hong Kong's way of life - protected in both the Joint Declaration and the Basic Law - and it should be upheld.
