#hkers — Public Fediverse posts

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

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

🇬🇧 has done a huge amount to provide sanctuary for #HongKongers, and 🇨🇦🇦🇺 have also been generous. I very much welcome this move by @POTUS but there is much more 🇺🇸 could and should do to help provide a lifeboat for #HKers https://hongkongfp.com/2023/01/27/us-extends-safe-haven-deportation-protection-for-fleeing-hongkongers/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/benedictrogers/status/1618914884263227392#m
