Throughout the Hong Kong protest movement, the UK has consistently made clear that we expect any arrests and judicial processes to be conducted in a fair and transparent manner. We have repeatedly made clear that we support the right to peaceful and lawful protest. It is essential all arrests and police actions are made according to the law and conducted in a fair and transparent manner.
