#Survey to assess demand for setting up a Hong Kong Government in exile

A political campaign group #AtlasMovement initiated a survey to gauge the demand for setting up a Hong Kong Government in exile.

“We have been thinking of setting up a Democratic Government in Exile to represent Hong Kongers and their interest in front of the international community, and to provide certain key state services,” the group wrote on its website and initiated a survey.

The group explained that the imposition of the #NationalSecurityLaw in June 2020 has led to a significant backslide and deterioration of democracy, rule of law and the guarantee of civil and political rights in Hong Kong.

It called the legislative elections in Hong Kong in December 2021 “a sham”, in which Hong Kongers can no longer express their voice or votes inside the city, and have no representation outside.

The survey aimed to assess demand for a Democratic Government in Exile; its representation; its function; how leaders could be elected and sources of funding.

"Gravely Concerning": Canadian MPs Urge Ottawa to Condemn Hong Kong Government Naming Vancouver Editor on "Wanted List"

In a letter to the government, two Canadian MPs asked Foreign Minister Melanie Joly to publicly oppose Hong Kong government’s action of putting Victor Ho, a former newspaper editor living in Vancouver, on a “wanted list” for suspected subversion of state power.

“We find this gravely concerning. Mr. Ho is a Canadian citizen, living in Canada. This is an intrusion on Mr. Ho’s legal rights, and any application of the National Security Law is a direct attack on this fundamental freedom of thought, belief, opinion, expression and assembly as protected by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,” wrote #HeatherMcPherson, MP for Edmonton-Strathcona, and #JennyKwan, MP for Vancouver-East.

On July 27, Ho joined other activists at a news conference in Toronto to announce the formation of an electoral organizing committee for a Hong Kong “parliament in exile” that would oppose Beijing’s continued clampdown on political freedoms.

A week later, the Hong Kong government’s security bureau said on its website that it “severely condemns” Ho and two others from the news conference, and that, on the basis of Hong Kong’s #NationalSecurityLaw, “police shall spare no efforts in pursuing the cases in … order to bring the offenders to justice.”
