Moolenaar on Guilty Verdicts for Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Activists

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) of the House Select Committee on the Strategic Competition Between the United States and the Chinese Communist Party released the following statement on the guilty verdicts handed down today in Hong Kong against pro-democracy advocates under the Chinese Communist Party’s National Security Law.

“The guilty verdicts handed down today in Hong Kong are just the latest sign of the continued deterioration of Hong Kongers’ rights and freedoms. Whether through the National Security Law or Article 23, the Chinese Communist Party has made clear it will crush dissent in all forms through its proxy Hong Kong authorities. The United States will continue to stand with the people of Hong Kong who fight for the rights and freedoms they were promised.”
