Last Update:
This afternoon, the UK Parliament held a debate on “Pro-democracy Campaigners: Arrests.” During the session, Leeds MP Mark Sewards raised the issue of Chloe Cheung, founder of the HongKongers in Leeds, who has recently been targeted by the Hong Kong government with a HK$1 million bounty on her head. He questioned the Under-Secretary in the FCDO, Catherine West, on what measure the UK government would take to ensure the protection of Chloe and other Hongkongers from transnational repression.
Two weeks ago, we called for supporters to write to their local MPs. It is likely that today’s contribution from Mark Sewards MP is a result of this letter-writing campaign successfully bringing the matter to his attention.
We would like to thank everyone who took part in writing to their MPs. We also urge all Hongkongers to continue to raise important issues with their MPs. There are still many topics that need to be brought to MPs for follow-up and debate. Let your elected representatives bring the matters you care about to Parliament for discussion. Add oil, Hongkongers!
🚨 The ETA Issue Needs Your Support
The Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA) is not a visa but a travel permit. However, for those fleeing political persecution, the requirements for an ETA may result in unnecessary delays or barriers. In other countries like Canada and the US, there have already been cases where individuals were denied ETAs or visas due to their participation in peaceful protests. If such situations were to occur in the UK, it could have a severe impact on asylum seekers.
We urge you to write to your MP, asking the UK government to review its ETA policy and ensure that the rights of British National (Overseas) (BNO) passport holders to enter the UK are protected.
