The UK’s Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab on Monday condemned the Hong Kong authorities for charging media tycoon Jimmy Lai under the national security law.

“The Hong Kong National Security Law breaches the internationally-binding Joint Declaration, and is now being used to charge Jimmy Lai,” Raab said in a statement. “This highlights the authorities’ continued attacks on the rights and freedoms of its people.”
