Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab comments on the disqualification of four pro-democracy lawmakers in Hong Kong.

Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab said:

China’s decision to arbitrarily remove elected pro-democracy Hong Kong legislators from their positions represents a further assault on Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy and freedoms under the UK-China Joint Declaration.

This campaign to harass, stifle and disqualify democratic opposition tarnishes China’s international reputation and undermines Hong Kong’s long-term stability.
