The UK Foreign Minister Dominic Raab on Wednesday voiced concern after the Chinese regime disqualified four pro-democracy lawmakers in Hong Kong.

Earlier in the day, Hong Kong moved to disqualify four pro-democracy legislators, after Beijing passed a resolution that would allow the local government to remove lawmakers from their positions if they’re deemed to threaten national security.
