These arrests are deeply concerning. Freedom of assembly is enshrined in Hong Kong’s Basic Law. ‘One Country, Two Systems’ must be upheld. One of the arrested was Martin Lee, “the father of HK democracy”. The timing during a pandemic is of further concern. https://t.co/dppKD91ou7

The people of Hong Kong have shown immense courage in working to uphold the city’s democratic freedoms. Any erosion of “One Country, Two Systems” would be inconsistent with commitments made by China to the international community and to Hong Kong, as enshrined in the Basic Law.
