May 2021 Newsletter: Hong Kong On The Brink

5/24/2021

Dear Friends of Hong Kong,
 
Last Friday, May 14, the Hong Kong government froze USD $64 million in media company shares and other assets that belong to jailed Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai. Lai received the news in prison, where he is serving sentences related to peaceful protests while simultaneously facing three national security charges. 
 
The seizure of Lai’s property without any conviction or due process has struck nerves in Hong Kong and around the world. CFHK’s statement called the government’s action “a dangerous sign of things to come,” and rejected Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam’s claim that the action “reinforces” Hong Kong’s status as an international financial center.

April 2021 Newsletter: We've Launched

Dear Friends of Hong Kong, 
Hong Kong is on the frontline of China’s assault on freedom in the region and the world. In 1997, when Hong Kong was returned to mainland communist rule, the people of Hong Kong were promised the freedom to run their city. Instead, the world is watching as the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) destroys a free society. Events in Hong Kong must be understood as vitally important not only to its deserving people, but also to the contest between free and repressive regimes that is the challenge of our time. ​

​Our new organization, the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong (CFHK) will:

  1. Press for political and economic consequences for China’s failure to keep its promises regarding Hong Kong’s freedoms.

  2. Support the rule of law, freedom of expression and the release of political prisoners.

  3. Urge the business community to stand against China’s assault on freedom, which also imperils Hong Kong’s status as an international center.
