Amnesty International has reopened its Hong Kong office in exile more than three years after shutting it due to risks from China's national security law. The new office, Amnesty International Hong Kong Overseas (AIHKO), will be run by Hong Kong activists from various countries such as Australia and the United States, and aims to advocate for human rights in the region. The reopening comes at a time when Chinese authorities have intensified their crackdown on dissent following the pro-democracy protests of 2019.
The establishment of Amnesty International Hong Kong Overseas represents a new phase in the ongoing commitment to uphold human rights amid stringent government restrictions.
Amnesty's new office signifies a continuation of activism for Hong Kong's rights, emphasizing the necessity for international support amidst oppressive local laws.
