Congressman John Moolenaar Chairman of the Select Committee on the CCP | Official Website
Chairman John Moolenaar (R-MI) issued a statement following recent legal actions in Hong Kong, where 45 activists were sentenced to prison terms of up to ten years. The statement also addressed the continuation of Jimmy Lai's trial.
“This week saw Hong Kong authorities, acting at the behest of the CCP, impose harsh and unjust prison sentences against courageous pro-democracy Hong Kongers," Moolenaar said. "Whether it be the sentencing of the Hong Kong 47 or the resumption of the show trial against Jimmy Lai, it is clear that Hong Kong’s legal system has been degraded and is controlled by the CCP. I condemn these acts in the harshest terms and urge the State Department to sanction the Hong Kong officials, prosecutors, and judges responsible for these unjust court proceedings.”
The events have drawn international attention due to concerns about judicial independence in Hong Kong.
