UK to take action and help prevent Extradition law being passed in Hong Kong.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

The UK has a responsibility to help protect the citizens of Hong Kong and that the city's laws are protected.

The extradition law in Hong Kong will allow any accused persons to be taken to mainland China where they will then stand trial, taking away any rights they would normally possess in HK.
