Hong Kong exiles in UK ‘living in fear’ of Beijing FMTNews FMTWorld
The UK this month ordered China to close what it views as clandestine police stations on British soil.
Following Beijing’s crackdown on huge pro-democracy protests in 2019 and a sweeping security law imposed the following year, “We were accused by the Chinese Communist Party in the newspaper of violating the Hong Kong National Security Law because of our painting,” Lumlong said.The visit left both feeling they would be arrested “sooner or later” if they didn’t flee, added Lumli.Their visa took two weeks to come through but it was only after they actually landed in London that they told their family.“There are so many informants in the UK.
Human rights group Safeguard Defenders said in a report that stations in cities around the world have been used to track down opponents. The Chinese authorities responded by saying staff were required “to physically fend off unauthorised entry and subsequent assaults”. Several Hongkongers expressed similar fears as they attended a vigil marking the Tiananmen massacre of 1989, on London’s Trafalgar Square on June 4 – the kind of event that is now effectively banned back home.
