Скачать или смотреть Hong Kong Has Legalised Punishing Families for Dissent

This week, a 68-year-old man in Hong Kong, Kwok Yin-sang, was convicted of a national security offence for cancelling a life insurance policy he bought decades ago. The transaction was routine. It was treated as a crime because of who his daughter is.

In this video, I explain how Hong Kong under the CCP has legalised punishing families for dissent. This marks a disturbing shift in how authoritarian power is exercised across borders. What the Kwok's case shows us is how Hong Kong's National Security legislation weaponises love, collapses the concept of asylum, and erodes freedoms everywhere in the world.

Beijing is testing what the rest of the world will accept. This matters to every single one of us. Anna Kwok needs our support.
