Religious freedom in Hong Kong is facing dangerous threats from the Chinese Communist Party, warned the the Revd Jonathan Aitken, as Chinese President Xi Jinping marked the 25th anniversary of the city’s handover from Britain.
‘The skies are darkening for religious freedom in Hong Kong,’ said the former cabinet minister and MP, now a church minister.
He said ‘there are increasingly ominous signs’ that religious freedom in Hong Kong is ‘next on the hit list by the destructive forces’ of Xi’s regime. Hong Kong’s National Security Law, which was imposed by the communist regime two years ago, can leave fundamental freedoms ‘almost completely dismantled’.
