A pleasure to meet today with former Home Secretary @pritipatel, alongside my @hk_watch colleague Thomas Benson, to discuss #HongKong & needs of #HongKongers Dame Priti introduced, pioneered & championed the BNO scheme & I am deeply grateful for her continued support for #HKers https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1749500999759257923#m

Delighted to host @hk_watch's civic and political education event for #HongKongers in Wimbledon tonight I enjoyed chairing the discussion with three excellent local councillors - @nick_cannonhill @eleanorSW19 and @PaulKohlerSW19 - about how #HKers can engage with UK democracy https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1745570804207690165#m

R to @benedictrogers: The low turnout shows exactly what #HongKongers think of the #CCP regime and its quislings. Well done #HKers - once again showing inspiring courage and wisdom Lowest-ever turnout for Hong Kong’s District Council election https://hongkongfp.com/2023/12/11/breaking-poorest-ever-turnout-for-hong-kongs-district-council-election-6-arrests-during-opposition-free-polls/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1734139468523684178#m

R to @benedictrogers: We had a room packed full of vibrant, questioning, energetic #HongKongers, and we covered #MPF, the security of #HKers, tuition fees in universities and a range of other questions. Democracy in action: this is what people can no longer do in #HongKong, but they can do here in UK https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1732165225229484143#m

R to @hk_watch: We urge 🇪🇺 Member States to introduce #lifeboat schemes for #HKers, targeted #sanctions against officials responsible for the crackdown, suspension of #extradition treaties with 🇨🇳 🇭🇰, & the creation of an EU Special Rapporteur for #politicalprisoners. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hk_watch/status/1727682015615504501#m

@SamGoodman22 RT by @hk_watch: Research @hk_watch is publishing later this month will show there will be at least 100,000 first time voters in the #HK community at the next General Election in target seats. This welcome grassroots initiative will hopefully mobilise #HKers to vote & candidates to support #HK. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/SamGoodman22/status/1715018554339176457#m

More concerning #MPF arrests in #HK. Essentially the #HK authorities with the help of 🇬🇧 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 trustees are blocking billions of pounds of pension savings from leaving #HK & are now resorting to arresting #HKers who are seeking to access those funds. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/law-and-crime/article/3238192/former-hong-kong-district-councillor-arrested-over-mpf-law-breach-accused-illegally-promoting-scheme. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hk_watch/status/1714259379162096027#m

@vanactivistshk RT by @Stand_with_HK: Mid-Autumn Banner Display and Human Chain 9/23 Many incarcerated #HKers cannot celebrate with their families due to their fight for freedom and democracy. Many more have left their homes and loved ones to Vancouver to escape from the threat of the #CCP https://nitter.hongkongers.net/vanactivistshk/status/1709042502446243979#m

R to @benedictrogers: Glad to ask the wonderful @TomTugendhat a question about the security and wellbeing of #HongKongers at @ConHome event at #CPC23 - and #HKers should know that they have no truer, better friend than Tom! https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1709305734628827261#m
