Joint Statement of 24 US Hong Kong Advocacy Organizations on Biden Administration’s Initial Response to Hong Kong’s Article 23 National Security Law
The APAC Committee, Assembly of Citizens’ Representative, Hong Kong joined 23 other Hong Kong advocacy organizations and community groups in a joint statement following the Biden Administration’s inadequate and concerning response to Article 23 in Hong Kong.
We call on the Biden Administration to:
1. Use the authority already provided by Congress to impose sanctions against those responsible for passing, implementing, and enforcing the Article 23 NSL.
2. Offer safe haven in the U.S. to dissidents fleeing the regime.
We call on the Congress to:
1. Bring the HKETO Certification Act (H.R. 1103/S. 490) to the floor for a vote. The legislation has passed both the House Foreign Affairs Committee and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee with overwhelming bipartisan support.
2. Advance the Hong Kong Sanctions Act (H.R. 6153/S.3177) and the Transnational Repression Policy Act (H.R. 3654/S.831) in order to further deter Beijing’s repression.
