Lord Carlile of Berriew
Crossbench
To ask His Majesty's Government what representations they have made to the government of China concerning the bounties offered for the capture of three residents of the UK.
Lord Ahmad of Wimbledon
Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
On 13 July, at the Foreign Secretary's instruction, his senior official conducted a formal démarche of the Chinese Ambassador. The senior official set out our strong objections to actions in Hong Kong in recent weeks, including the issuing of arrest warrants and bounties for eight individuals living overseas, three of whom live in the UK, as well as the detention and questioning of the family members of some of those individuals in Hong Kong. We also expressed our ongoing opposition to the imposition of the National Security Law by Beijing on Hong Kong, which is a breach of the Sino-British Joint Declaration.
