Kenneth Roth, Human Rights Watch's executive director, speaks during a news conference in Seoul, South Korea. Human Rights Watch says Hong Kong authorities have barred its executive director from entering the territory, November 1, 2018.
The global head of Human Rights Watch said he was denied entry on Sunday to Hong Kong, where he was scheduled to launch the organisation's latest world report this week. Kenneth Roth, the group's executive director, said he was blocked at Hong Kong airport from entering for the first time, having entered freely in the past.
During seven months of sometimes violent anti-government protests, the Chinese-ruled city has barred several activists, foreign journalists and an academic. "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.
That’s the reason behind!
I dont see the point of denying entry except making the CCP controlled puppet Hong Kong govt embarrased. StandWithHongKong antichinazi
And the regime still insists Hong Kong is open with freedom. There are ppl out there with eyes to see & brains to think, those idiots of the CCP think they can still fool the world into thinking 1 country 2 systems' still working fine?
It is simply because Mr Roth respects human rights that he has been barred from entering HongKong. When will the free world realise China_is_terrorist? Olympics
**caution** the scene may cause uncomfortable A man fall from the police residential building in head down leg up pose, HKPoliceTerrorists said it is not suspicious. ccp n police are killing ppl that is why they banned HRW
The denial of Roth’s entry to Hong Kong boarder is too ridiculous & suspcious. On one hand, Carrie Lam claimed HumanRights in HK remained sound. But on the other hand, officials suppress organisations to review & report human rights situation in HK... Funny! StandWithHongKong
Hong Kong government doesn’t want other people to know what they are doing
I cannot see any freedom here :) antichinazi
This is the real situation in Hong Kong. humanrights & freedom are eroded. Hong Kong is a PoliceState , people are repressed by China & the head of Human Rights Watch is denied entry. amnesty UNHumanRights
CCP puppet’s CarrieLam restricted the entering of overseas politicians/expert, that’s absurd In fact, it was a bi-standard situation, the relatives of CCP wanted to go overseas for academic but restrict foreigners from entering 🇨🇳 antitotalitarianism
Shame on the evil puppet government of Hong Kong to ruin freedom of speech and expression!
This denial of entry serves as one of the examples showing the erosion of HumanRights and Freedom in HongKong. The situation is critical that the Communist China is using the HK government as the puppet to violate human rights in Hong Kong severely.
This maybe a result of Mr. Roth’s criticism on HKPoliceTerrorists , afterall, it is HKPoliceState
StandWithHongKong
Why doesn't Kenneth Roth stay in US, and work on getting Iranian foreign minister Zarif to be allowed to speaking to UN? Lol
That’s so called 1 country 2 systems 😒😒😒 Do u think the Hong Kong people who still trust ccp and Hong Kong gov ? antichinazi BoycottChina StandwithHK
This shows the CCP tyranny & HKPoliceTerrorists want less witnesses for all evil acts they have been doing. Human rights & freedoms are dead in HongKong. It's time to sanction all these evils. StandWithHongKong FiveDemandsNotOneLess
This just shows the world that Hong Kong has no human rights. It doesn’t need any report to prove it!
Denying the entry; does it mean the HongKong government violates tons of humanrights related issues?
Tell you a joke: Freedom in Hong Kong
Foreigners should be aware of Hong Kong police and immigration. They can lock you up and beat you without reasons.
The erosion of '1 country 2 systems' is clearly witnessed in front of everyone now. HKgovt still tells the world what kinds of freedom we have. Sorry, we have none frankly.
Welcome to the Hong Kong PoliceState. The city is ruled by HK Police terrorists backed by CCP, so they can do whatever they want, like arbitrary arrest, stop and search, beat up innocents or even rape or gang rape girls w/o bearing any consequences, coz they are the LAW
Flagrantly ONE country offences the HongKong Systems.
Government denies his entry without a reason. It illustrates clearly how China intervene in HongKong now. This also represents a warning: China’s crimes against humanity can no longer be ignored. It’s time for us to say NO.
When they say the citizens need to seize the freedom of speech we have right now.
Hong Kong government is shameless to still claim Hong Kong a free place. The human rights situation in Hong Kong is so deteriorated as the CCP takes control of the once free port.
It shouldn't happen in liberated World, sadly Hong Kong now becomes exactly the same of China. 1 country 2 systems has totally failed. CCP & its puppet HKGov suppress human-right & freedom by all means.
Offical declaration fm hongkong gvnt: HK is absent of HumanRights 'Problem'. Most info fm the gvnt is misleading u.
By banning Kenneth Roth’s (chief of Human Rights Watch) entry into Hong Kong, HK regime doesnt uphold the freedom it claimed not long ago👇. However, this isnt what we think.Just there are no check & balance of the regime, only brutal suppressions when we take to the streets.
Let’s see how HKPoliceTerrorism treat peaceful assembly. Using baton, bullet hit their head! chinazi always defame that hkprotesters are not peaceful. Who are really violent?
Shame to Hong Kong government. Are you going to block everyone trying to care for Hong Kong people?
CCP afraid of your speech... now more chinese know what is true
The only way to prove HongKong is as free as what the govt officials said is to allow related people like Mr Roth to enter. I don’t see why he is denied except this place is not what the officials claimed to be. In that case, you win then human rights violators in HKSAR govt.
Terrible HongKong government
This illustrates that freedoms & human rights of Hong Kong are oppressed without limits. Puppet leader Carrie Lam has unscrupulously trampled ‘one country two systems’. HK officials must be held accountable & sanctioned for deprivation of autonomy & human rights of Hong Kong.
What China is doing is expelling any supporters of HongKongProtests to oppress HongKongProtesters and prevent being observed so that the truth of PoliceBrutality could be hidden from the world.
Ridiculous. This is actually showing there is no freedom and human rights in Hong Kong.
Definitely , Hong Kongers and all human rights organisations have no human rights under CCP and HKPoliceTerrorism controlled.
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.
Banning entry and departure, yet still the puppet govt claiming high degree of freedom , just like its master China calling itself democratic.
Sad to know another activist like Mr Roth got denied to enter Hong Kong. Typical Communist China way to suppress everyone’s freedom. Another good example tells the world no human rights is guaranteed in this “1 country 1 system”. Request more countries to sanction 🇨🇳!
Hong Kong gov is so ridiculous
Free Hong Kong FreeHK FreeHongKong StandWithHongKong
The Hong Kong government wants to close down his crimes and those of the police
HumanRights HongKong
Human rights and One Country Two System is obviously a joke. But it’s not funny at all.
Hong Kong is in HumanitarianCrisis ! We are losing freedom under CCPChina ! China_is_terrorist ! Please help us! SOSHK
Welcome to China. Hong Kong now is under the full comment of ccp and loss the spiritnof 2 systems StandWithHongKong ABC_challenge
The HKGov want to Hide the truth and fact of HKPoliceTerrorism hongkongpolicebrutality .... HongKong still have FreedomOfSpeech ？ freedomofpress ?
HK gov know they have done something wrong but they don’t admit it and try their best to cover their mistakes. Good job👍🏻
CarrieLam destroys Hongkong completely
The HK gov’t is trying to isolate Hong Kong so they could say “the outsiders are reporting fake news and they don’t know what’s happening in Hong Kong”. The more people they reject to entry, the more shameful the gov’t is. StandWithHongKong FightForFreedom FreeHK
HK Government be like: I don't treat any of the protesters as human beings. What's their rights for?
Apparently, Mr Roth falls into the undesirable list of CCP This is totally unacceptable HongKongProtests
This is what happens when citizens have no rights to vote for the government. Hong Kong's Carrie Lam only serves the interests of President Xi, who appointed her. Freedom is slipping away while she shamelessly proclaims everything is fine.
