A U.S. congressional report has urged the United States to impose sanctions on 29 Hong Kong judges appointed to preside over national security cases, citing their role in the arbitrary imprisonment of over 1,000 political prisoners.
“The United States government should consider imposing sanctions on judges to counter the erosion of democratic freedoms in Hong Kong,” the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China (CECC) stated in their report released on May 11.
