US notice condemned

October 22, 2021

The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government today strongly condemned the Implementation of Employment Authorization for Individuals Covered by Deferred Enforced Departure for Hong Kong notice issued by the US authorities.

 

In a statement, the Hong Kong SAR Government pointed out that this notice equates to the US offering a so-called safe haven to wanted fugitives who have escaped from Hong Kong in an attempt to evade justice by hiding in foreign countries including the US.

 

Governments that not only harbour but invite or encourage fugitive offenders to live in their countries wantonly disregard the rule of law and expose their hypocrisy, it stressed.

 

Countries taking such actions should take full responsibility for unnecessarily stoking tensions with the motherland, the Hong Kong SAR Government noted.

 

It also urged the US to stop their blatant interference in Hong Kong matters which are the internal affairs of the People’s Republic of China.
