“This year describes how the Chinese government is undermining the international human rights system. But the authorities just blocked my entrance to Hong Kong, illustrating the worsening problem,” Roth said in a post on his Twitter account.The Hong Kong government had no immediate response to Reuters’ questions about why Roth was denied entry.
Human Rights Watch, based in New York, had been scheduled to release its 652-page World Report 2020 at the Foreign Correspondent Club in Hong Kong on Jan. 15. Roth would now launch the report on Jan. 14 at the United Nations in New York, the organization said in a statement. “This disappointing action is yet another sign that Beijing is tightening its oppressive grip on Hong Kong and further restricting the limited freedom Hong Kong people enjoy under ’one country, two systems’,” Roth said in the organization’s statement.
Human Rights Watch said a Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs official had threatened to impose unspecified “sanctions” against it and several U.S.-based pro-democracy organizations in early December. Neither Beijing nor Hong Kong authorities have since provided further details, it added.

The situation is HK now is so worrying, another case of so called “suicide” today, police claimed to have non suspicious, but there is a video showing the body was like thrown down from the building
It seems that 🇨🇳 CCP & its puppet 🇭🇰 govt are fear of Mr Roth and HRW. The report must contain something truly reflects violation of human rights.
Shame on Hong Kong government !😡 HumanRightsWatch SOSHK StandWithHongKong
Just another case to prove Hong Kong is under a humanitarian crisis. The freedom we’ve once enjoyed are now restricted by the tyranny China. They try to isolate HK from the world, covering up the truth. We hope the world could speak up against human rights abusers.
Danger signal!🚨 HongKong going to the stage of island isolation. Cutting global connections
If say the truth, china and hongkong not welcome
If there are no serious human rights issues, I can't see any reason to deny the entry of an international human rights organization leader. FightForFreedom HumanRights StandwithHK
The denial the entry reveals that Hong Kong is not a free city as claimed by the HKSAR anymore. If the human rights is well respected in hk, why would the government prohibit kenneth from monitoring the situation in Hong Kong?
And the HongKong regime just releases an ad saying HK still enjoy freedom? Just a lie, a scam not unlike the 1 country 2 system, and those promises of 50 years unchanged autonomy.
All the HK government officials serve CCP instead of its people, making them feel embarrassed.
this only shows abuse of human right in Hong Kong StandwithHK
CCP would like to have everything under control and Hong Kong earns money for them. They don’t want to have 1 country 2 systems at all.
on wt legal grounds have they denied his entry? hkpolicestate
A petty move of Hong Kong Gov & CCPChina induced numerous pieces of news from all across the globe. So is Carrie Lam’s team/ china over-react too much, especially during the time being alleged of depriving HumanRights ? StandWithHongKong 5DemandsNot1Less
Shame to Carrie Lam who lied blindly that freedom in Hong Kong remained unchanged. There is no freedom, no trust in Communist China.
What’s CarrieLam afraid of? Or CCP was controlling HK step by step? The denial proved that 🇨🇳 ordered HKGovt’s action, so no more “1 country 2 systems” exist 😓 antitotalitarianism antichinazi AntiCCP
The way the chinazi makes problem disappear is to make those proposed the problem disappear. It could be you if we do not stand together and resist China_is_terrorist AnywherebutChina BoycottChina StandWithHongKong FightForFreedom 5DemandsNot1Less
So, now the world sees how much the Chinese communist party and the Hong Kong Government respect human rights and treat people with alternative views.
The denial of his entry to Hong Kong further proves that CCP is limiting the freedoms and human rights in HK by more totalitarian control and. Please support HongKongProtests by passing MagnitskyAct to sanction and punish China for its freedom suppression. StandWithHongKong
Who's next on the list? International journalists? It's alarming Hong Kong is becoming China.

Shame on the evil puppet government of Hong Kong to ruin our freedom of speech and expression!
It is an offensive political barring from HK’s puppet officials, which direct declared the violations of Human Rights by CCP & the death of “1 country, 2 systems” It seems the sanction list of HKHRDA is still updating...
So this is the retaliation by CCP for the pass of HKHRDA ?
The denial revealed the true nature of this BS government, and how they follow the orders of CCP to oppressing freedoms.
StandWithHongKong
HKGov's denial of Human Rights Watch head's entry -reaffirms there is no freedom in Hong Kong anymore & 1Country2Systems is just a lie of CCP -further highlights CCP's HumanRightsViolations
This is so ironic that CCP claims it is upholding human rights in China. antichinazi StandWithHongKong

There’s no more autonomy in Hong Kong. Foreigners can be detained as hostage similar to the Canadians and Americans locked up by China

1c2s? It's dead a long time ago. China is either frightened of facing the ugly truth of themselves OR feeling nonchalant of taking responsibilities of every inhumane action they've done.
SOSHK HongKong
Denied entry of the Human Rights Watch visit to HongKong; it doesn't mean you could deny on humanrights violations. The world is watching.
Seems only ONE country remained. Systems was dead for only 20 years old.
No more 1Country2Systems. They tell us to the face, in case we are not aware of that.
Communist China : I will show you how I abuse human right in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong gov and CCP are invading every single basic human rights of people of HK. Still, Carrie Lam claimed that HK is a free city and we have freedom..... They can never understand we want freedom more than money... HongKong HongKongProtests Chinazi HumanRights
The government denies his entry without a reason. It illustrates clearly how China intervene in HongKong. “One Country, Two Systems” is just a lie made by CCP.
Actions speak louder than words. Hong Kong Government proved the freedom status in Hong Kong by their action. 5DemandsNot1Less
There is no freedom in HongKong now...
Shameful for hk government and CCP StandwithHK
One more evidence to show One Country Two Systems is a joke!
I do remember there are many organizations pointing out the problem of PoliceBrutality in HongKong Maybe it is the strategy of chinazi to stop his entry to oppress HongKongProtests and avoid surveillance to prevent the truth from being revealed.
China has the full control in HK now. 1C2S is no more.
Although CCP is going to deny any sort of external human right report anyways, the denial of entry itself just proves how much HK gov has deteriorated and acted only at the interest of CCP.
CCP & its puppet government are destroying human rights and democracy in Hong Kong. Please StandWithHongKong and FightForFreedom. 5DemandsNot1Less
If Hong Kong authority hasn’t violated the human rights, why would it ban the human watch head from entering HK? And this ban is actually reinforcing its suppression on freedom and rights. Insane. “Hong Kong is free.” is becoming a joke as the HKGov is converging to CCP.
anyone saying hk is still a free city is obviously a perpetrator of CCPChina in destroying hk. also note that the hk gov is acting according to ministry of foreign affairs sanction list. hk has 0 autonomy StandWithHongKong
International city? Human rights? There's no such thing in Hk! shame

Another act of denial. The Carrie Lam's government is acting more and more brazen in defying supervision by the international community, while insisting business as usual in Hong Kong. Come on. The world is watching, and they are have real freedom of the press.
