Ireland has suspended its extradition agreement with Hong Kong over Beijing’s imposition of the national security law, Foreign Minister Simon Coveney has confirmed.
The move “clearly signals Ireland’s concerns in relation to the rule of law in Hong Kong and the erosion of judicial independence promised under the ‘one country, two systems’ principle,” Coveney wrote on Tuesday in a written answer to a parliamentary question by Fine Gael TD (member of Irish Parliament) Neale Richmond.
