To mark 28 years since the transfer of Hong Kong’s sovereignty from British to Chinese hands and in light of the ongoing deterioration of its political situation, we issued a statement on July 1 — the fifth year since the imposition of the National Security Law — condemning the erosion of freedoms. We also called for increased international efforts to support Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement and hold human-rights abusers accountable.

Our statement was reported in the Points.
