Canada should take a stronger stance on the mass arrest of pro-democracy activists by Hong Kong’s Beijing-backed government, says the head of a Canadian Hong Kong support group.
“Instead of condemning the wrongdoing of the Hong Kong government for arbitrarily arresting the pro-democracy figures and asking that the Hong Kong government respect freedom of assembly and expression, our foreign affairs minister has called on parties to show restraint,” Gloria Fung, president of Canada-Hong Kong link, said in an interview.
