A human rights organization reported that a number of pro-Beijing, top officials in Hong Kong, who seriously violate human rights, own properties and hidden assets outside the country. The rights group urged those countries to follow the example of sanctions against Russia and launch a sanction list against the named Chinese officials.
Hong Kong Watch, a British non-governmental organization headquartered in London, reported on April 21 that 9 members of the Hong Kong Executive Council and 12 members of the Legislative Council own properties in the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Australia, Japan, and France.
