British Asia-Pacific Minister: UK Sanctions Chinese officials for Xinjiang Issue but How About Hong Kong Officials?
The protest organisation “Stand with Hong Kong” held an online roundtable meeting with UK Labour Party on Mar 24 to discuss its role in the Hong Kong issue. Stephen Kinnock, the Labour Party shadow minister, asked why the UK government had not sanctioned Hong Kong officials yet while sanctions had already put on related China officials. Recently, some public opinions question whether UK judges should still serve in Hong Kong judiciary institutions. Kinnock believes “the time of UK judges serving Hong Kong should be ended”.
The meeting was hosted by Siobhain McDonagh, the Labour Party Congressman. Stephen Kinnock, the shadow Asia-Pacific State Affairs Minister, Francis, representatives of “Stand with Hong Kong”, and Ted Hui, the former member of the Hong Kong Legislative Council who exiled to Australia, spoke in turn.

Australian Foreign Minister: Stand with those who care about freedom of the press
The 26-year-old Hong Kong “Apple Daily” was forced to cease operations on 24 June,2021 due to the freezing of many senior executives and assets. This has drawn many foreign countries’ attention.
Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne indicated through the post, “Sith the closure of the Apple Daily, Australia stands with those raising legitimate concerns about the future of press freedoms in Hong Kong. She especially mentioned those attentions are legitimate.
Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT) has posted on Twitter and demonstrated the concern at the arrest of journalists from Apple Daily. The impact will have on freedom of expression in Hong Kong, as provided in the Basic Law underpinned by the Sino-British Joint Declaration.
Since the closure of Apple Daily, Australian Foreign Minister Marise Payne retweeted the post of DFAT, and posted to indicate, Australia will stand with the people who care about freedom of press.

Mime Pro-democrscy Demonstration in #Nottingham, Hongkongers in #UK Preserve Memory of 8.31 Prince Edward Attack
2021 marks the second anniversary of the 8.31 Prince Edward Attack by the police in 2019. As Hong Kong is under the tight grip of authoritarian control, there are no large scale memorial activities planned.
Overseas Hongkongers told their fellow Hongkongers that they have not forgotten this date.
In UK on August 29, 2021, the group "Nottingham Stands With Hong Kong" presented a large-scale silent skit titled "We Are the Chosen One", recreating scene after scene of heart-rending moments from the 2019 Anti-ELAB protests.
Participants posted photos and videos of the skit on Facebook, noting that "there are things that can't be done in Hong Kong now. We understand. So leave it to us overseas people."
The group explained that they wanted to preserve the memory of the events; however, it was even more important that the international community knows what happened in Hong Kong. "It doesn't matter if you're in Hong Kong or overseas. As long as you're a true Hongkonger, our hearts will be connected, and we'll remember what we promised to each other. See you under the Pot!"
