Emily Thornberry

Labour — Islington South and Finsbury

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 November 2024

Debate

Jailing of Hong Kong Pro-democracy Activists

Contribution

The verdicts and sentences of the 45 are, like the 2020 national security law itself and the treatment of Jimmy Lai, clear violations of the Sino-British joint declaration on Hong Kong. Following the meeting between President Xi and the Prime Minister, will my right hon. Friend please share with the House what steps the Government plan to take to ensure that the joint declaration is adhered to?
