Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether they have plans to issue a public statement in response to targeting by the government Hong Kong's of (1) Benedict Rogers of Hong Kong Watch, (2) Luke de Pulford of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, and (3) Bill Browder of the Global Magnitsky Justice Campaign, by alleging involvement with the case of British citizen Jimmy Lai.

Jimmy Lai's case is a priority for the Government. The Foreign Secretary has called for his release and has urged the authorities to end their prosecution and repeal the National Security Law. We continue to engage with the Chinese and Hong Kong authorities on his case and have raised our opposition to the inclusion of British nationals in the prosecution's case. We are offering support to the British nationals who have been named.
