Hong Kong’s autonomy based on ‘one country, two systems’ must be ensured

The IDU strongly condemns the Chinese government’s proposed national security law undermining civil liberties in Hong Kong and calls for an end of violence against unarmed and peaceful protestors. While the world focuses on the fight against COVID-19, the PRC once more represses freedom, democracy and the rule of law.

The free world must stand together to denounce this violation of international agreements. Hong Kong’s autonomy based on the commitment to ‘one country, two systems’ must be ensured and democratic development maintained.
