Deteriorating situation of media freedom and freedom of expression in Hong Kong following the recent arrest of bookseller Leticia Wong and the convictions of Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung

= Latest Tabled for plenary → Adopted by Parliament: No change of substance: the two versions differ only in presentation — cover page, numbering or the parts a report carries that the adopted text does not. see the changes →

✦ Tabled for plenary → Tabled for plenary: The new version adds calls to repeal the National Security Law and the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance, to strengthen the EU-China Human Rights Dialogue, and to suspend extradition treaties with China. It drops the paragraph on China breaching the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the denunciation of prosecutions as silencing independent media. It adds Jimmy Lai to the list of people whose release is urged and to the cases for the EU Delegation to monitor, and adds details on his prison sentence. It drops the call to raise Hong Kong human rights cases in every meeting with the Hong Kong side and the instruction to forward the resolution. The other changes are wording: rephrased condemnations and descriptions of the deterioration of freedoms and the arrest and conviction figures. see the changes →
