The UK government released its latest six-monthly report on Hong Kong on March 27, covering Hong Kong’s political, legal, and human rights situation from July to December 2024.

The report found that Hong Kong’s freedom and human rights conditions continued to deteriorate and criticized the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) for not fulfilling its commitments in the Sino-British Joint Declaration.
