#bnos — Public Fediverse posts

A privilege to speak today at a protest outside @HSBC HQ in London, in support of #HongKongers #BNOs denied access to hard-earned pension savings in #HongKong's Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) scheme. It's their money. They should be allowed to withdraw it when they leave #HK https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1734639047232933977#m

I'll be speaking at this protest at @HSBC today, calling on HSBC to stop blocking #HongKongers hard-earned life savings in their Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) pensions and allow #BNOs to withdraw their MPF funds when they leave #HongKong Join us 👇 https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1734492714463359025#m

R to @benedictrogers: I give 🇬🇧credit for BNO scheme, but we need targeted sanctions against those responsible for dismantling #HongKong's freedoms, and action to stop the banks freezing pro-democracy activists' accounts and pressure on pension funds to release #HongKonger #BNOs MPF pension savings / https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1697342487856099745#m

@SamGoodman22 RT by @hk_watch: We’re in an absurd situation where @Jeremy_Hunt refuses to direct @HSBC_UK @StanChart to give #BNOs access to their frozen MPF pension savings, but also won’t allow #BNOs to make voluntary payments to qualify for a 🇬🇧 state pension. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/08/27/british-national-overseas-bno-hong-kong-pensions-crisis/. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/SamGoodman22/status/1696462828192837813#m

‘Only 2.1% indicate they plan to move back to Hong Kong after obtaining 🇬🇧 citizenship.’ Reminder that the #BNO visa is a pathway to citizenship & right to work. ⁦@HSBC_UK⁩ ⁦@StanChart⁩ should be giving #BNOs access to their pension savings. https://www.scmp.com/news/hong-kong/society/article/3231956/only-third-hongkongers-who-recently-moved-uk-found-full-time-jobs-despite-most-being-highly-educated https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hk_watch/status/1694727186836795679#m

Outrageous. The banks in #HongKong have become the #CCP's instruments of repression, denying #BNOs their hard-earned pension savings and freezing bank accounts of activists.
