#MartinLidegaard of the Danish Social Liberal Party, #AnnetteLind of Social Democratic Party and #MichaelAastrupJensen, member of the largest opposition Liberal Party said in their statement to the Hong Kong police that “members of the Danish Parliament are free to exercise their parliamentary duties without threats of retaliation.”

They stressed that “this is an inalienable and constitutional principle in Danish democracy”, calling also on other politicians and political parties to join in their support.

A news report on Danish media, Politiken, revealed on March 11 that the Chinese government has attempted to seek support from the Danish government on an investigation case connected to former legislator, Ted Hui’s flee to the UK in January 2021. The request, however, was rejected.

It was reported that the Chinese government’s request involved four Danish political figures, including #KatarinaAmmitzbøll, member of Parliament for the Conservative party, #UffeElbæk, member of Parliament for the Independent Greens, as well as #ThomasRohden and #AndersStorgaar. They were said to have assisted Ted Hui from fleeing Hong Kong earlier this year.
