Hong Kong Watch concludes trip to Brussels
Last week, Hong Kong Watch Director of Policy and Advocacy Sam Goodman, and Research and Policy Advisor Anouk Wear visited Brussels where they met with MEPs and other supporters in the European Parliament.
They discussed the upcoming anniversary of the National Security Law and the Handover with MEPs Bernard Guetta (France), Engin Eroglu (Germany), Jordi Solé (Spain), Anna Fotyga (Poland), Markéta Gregorová (Czechia), Reinhart Bütikofer (Germany) and staff from other offices.
They gave a briefing to the European Parliament Informal Hong Kong Watch Group which published a joint letter condemning the three-year anniversary of the Hong Kong National Security Law. The letter, addressed to the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, called for European Member States and the European Commission to work to secure the immediate release of all people detained under the NSL and for the Hong Kong and Chinese authorities to end the political show trials in the HKSAR.
This week, Research and Policy Advisor Anouk Wear conducted a second trip to Brussels to speak at a panel event on surveillance in China hosted by MEP Markéta Gregorová, and to discuss the Hong Kong National Security Police’s targeting of pro-democracy activists overseas.
She had productive meetings with MEPs Salima Yenbou (France), Rasa Juknevičienė (Lithuania), Andrius Kubilius (Lithuania), Isabel Santos (Portugal), Nicola Beer (Germany), and staff from other offices to discuss the Hong Kong Police’s issuing of arrest warrants and bounties against Hong Kong activists overseas.
