Hong Kong: In solidarity against repression

We all want to live without fear, knowing our right to speak up is protected. Hong Kongers want this too, wherever they live. But right now, they’re facing repression by Hong Kong and Chinese authorities - even if they live in the UK.

Freedom of expression is vital for a free and fair society. But right now, people in Hong Kong and even those who have migrated to the UK, are facing an increased crackdown on their rights to freedom of expression.

Since 2023, the Hong Kong government has put £100,000 bounties over the heads of 19 overseas activists. In 2024 a manager of the Hong Kong’s trade office in London and a former UK Border Officer were charged with unlawfully spying on Hong Kong activists.

These incidents show that the crackdown against Hong Kongers inside the UK is very real and puts their human rights at risk.

The UK is home to the largest Hong Kong diaspora community, and an important base of their activism.

It's time to come together to demand the UK government act now to protect Hong Kongers in the UK.

Join the movement to fight for the right to freedom of expression of Hong Kongers.
