An international coalition of parliamentarians that includes Canadians is calling on governments around the world to unite against the national security law imposed on Hong Kong by the Chinese regime.
On June 1, a cross-party coalition of 760 parliamentarians and policymakers from 37 countries, including 180 Canadians, issued a statement decrying Beijing’s “unilateral introduction of national security legislation in Hong Kong” and calling for sympathetic governments to unite against this “flagrant breach of the Sino-British Joint Declaration.”
