Human Rights Watch chief executive Kenneth Roth says he was barred entry to Hong Kong, where he was scheduled to launch the organisation's latest world report criticising China.

Beijing denies interference and blames the West for fomenting the unrest.

Mr Roth had visited Hong Kong numerous times in the past, including to release a HRW report on gender discrimination in the Chinese job market in April 2018. The Hong Kong Government had no immediate response to Reuters' questions about why Mr Roth was denied entry. "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'," Mr Roth said in the organisation's statement.

Crazy political action by Hong Kong gov and ccp ! antichinazi BoycottChina StandwithHK

How can the Hong Kong government claim Hong Kong as one of the fewest cities when they basically deny everyone who doesn’t support HK regime to enter to Hong Kong?!

It means that HRW is doing the right thing and HumanRightsViolations happen for sure in both Hong Kong and China, that's why they barred Mr Roth's entry This is so China, silent everyone who raises questions, becoz they think they're the best and perfect lollll HumanRights

Hong Kong government follows CCPChina order to block him to tell the truth of HongKongProtests to the world.

Government denies his entry without a reason. It illustrates clearly how China intervene in HongKong now. It’s also a warning: China’s crimes against humanity can no longer be ignored. It’s time for us to say NO.

Even epidemic area of chinesePneumonia , Wuhan, still can enter freely, the so-called international city Hong Kong denied entry of human rights organization

President Trump might have to thank Chinese vice prime minister Liu He at signing the trade deal that Americans are not held as hostage, only denied entry.

Cleo19910698 A international city would not did this ,this definitively a political repression HKSAR deny the Human Right Watch director entry HK ,as he criticized China : China will carry out intensive attack on the global system of enforcing human right

Evil CCP refused western officials get into Xinjiang where concentration camps are built! Now it’s Hong Kong! The CCP is slaughtering the protesters secretly in Hong Kong! Many people are arrested, tortured and even raped, killed just because they criticized the government!

It's clear now. Hong Kong is no longer an open free port.

All dictatorship states afraid humanrights, including hongkong

Hong Kong allows foreign capital money to enter China but foreign human right activists? No thanks. What a convenient freedom Carrie Lam claimed to have. HongKong CCP

That's the CCPChina anyone or anything that japordize their regime, they will rip it out, totally!

It proves HK has no more human right.

JanetZephyr It’s time for the world to sanction this shameless HongKong government and CCP for undermining human rights and democracy. They are turning HK into the next Xinjiang StandWithHongKong
