U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo condemned the Hong Kong government and the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) over what he called “political persecution” against four pro-democracy activists in the last two days.
“The use of courts to silence peaceful dissent is a hallmark of authoritarian regimes and underscores once again that the Chinese Communist Party’s greatest fear is the free speech and free thinking of its own people,” stated Pompeo in a Dec. 3 statement.
