Leading human rights activist Benedict Rogers denied entry into Hong Kong during human rights visit
On 11 October, Benedict Rogers, a leading human rights activist, was denied entry into Hong Kong while on a private visit. Mr Rogers is a British national and therefore should have the right to visit Hong Kong without a visa for six months.
Mr Rogers had been set to meet leading political figures in a private capacity. The Chinese Embassy in the UK sent threatening messages to Mr Rogers, warning him that they were aware of his proposed visit and telling him he was unwelcome to visit Hong Kong if he were to meet ‘particular political figures’. On October 10 2017, he received a message from the Embassy saying, “I am afraid that if he insists on travelling, he will not be able to enter.”
Mr Rogers has spoken vocally out against the recent arrest of Joshua Wong, Alex Chow, Nathan Law and other pro-democracy activists. He organised a joint letter protesting their arrest which was signed by 25 international figures, including Sir Malcolm Rifkind.
He is a leading human rights activist, and also serves as Deputy Chairman of the Conservative Party Human Rights Commission, who has a record of speaking out for human rights and rule of law in Hong Kong, China, Myanmar, Indonesia and other parts of East and Southeast Asia. He has written about Hong Kong for ConservativeHome, the Hong Kong Free Press, and the Huffington Post.
Hong Kong is governed by the principle of ‘one country, two systems’, and Article 39 of Hong Kong Basic Law guarantees human rights as set out by the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights. Commentators and activists have observed that the principle of ‘one country, two systems’ appears to be under threat. The decision of Hong Kong’s government to deny a British citizen the right to enter Hong Kong because he intended to attend private meetings with political figures sends a worrying signal. It is an act of serious political suppression against a British human rights activist, and is another sign that ‘one country, two systems’ is endangered.
