Oppression: Hong Kong

Asked by Andrew RosindellReform UKHome OfficeTabled Answered 18 June 2025UIN 59739

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help protect Hong Kong democracy activists in the UK who have bounties placed on them by the Hong Kong government.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

While it is our long-standing policy not to provide detailed information on security matters, where we identify individuals at heightened risk, we are front footed in deploying protective security measures as appropriate.

The Government has developed new guidance which can be found on GOV.UK providing those who believe themselves to be at-risk of transnational repression with practical advice for their safety both physically and online.
