UK suspends extradition treaty with HK 'immediately and indefinitely'

Action, Action, Action！

The UK will suspend the extradition treaty with Hong Kong "immediately and indefinitely", Dominic Raab has confirmed.

The Foreign Secretary told MPs that the treaty was being suspended because there was uncertainty about how the new security law imposed by Beijing on Hong Kong would be used, noting it would not be reactivated "unless and until" there are "clear and robust" safeguards preventing the extradition being misused.

This was a "reasonable and proportionate response" to China's failure to live up to its responsibilities, he said.
