Sanctions Campaign

One of our key asks has been that governments around the world consider imposing targeted sanctions against individual perpetrators of human rights violations in Hong Kong. It is vital that violations of human rights are met with a proportionate response.

Hong Kong Watch is campaigning for governments who have raised concerns about the National Security Law to follow through with actions, including:

  • Imposing Magnitsky-style targeted sanctions on Chinese Communist Party officials, Hong Kong Government officials, members of the Hong Kong Police Force, and the Chinese security officials who violate human rights in Hong Kong, particularly under the National Security Law.

  • Considering what other sanctions are appropriate in response to the rapidly deteriorating situation.

  • Working with civil society organisations to create an avenue for Hong Kongers to provide evidence of the human rights violations of Chinese and Hong Kong officials within and outside of Hong Kong.
