WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 Los senadores estadounidenses y miembros del Comit\u00e9 de Relaciones Exteriores del Senado, Jeff Merkley (D-OR) y Marco Rubio (R-FL), quienes se desempe\u00f1an como comisionado y copresidente, respectivamente, de la Comisi\u00f3n Ejecutiva del Congreso bipartidista y bicameral sobre China (CECC ), public\u00f3 hoy la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n conjunta tras la expulsi\u00f3n de cuatro legisladores a favor de la democracia del Consejo Legislativo de Hong Kong:<\/p>\n
\n\u201cLa democracia en Hong Kong est\u00e1 jadeando por aire. Esta ma\u00f1ana, el Comit\u00e9 Permanente de la Asamblea Popular Nacional de China, que no fue electo ni rindi\u00f3 cuentas, dio otro paso importante para despojar al pueblo de Hong Kong de sus sagrados derechos y libertades, esta vez expulsando a Alvin Yeung, Kwok Ka-ki, Dennis Kwok y Kenneth Leung del poder. Consejo Legislativo de la ciudad. Estos legisladores fueron debidamente elegidos por sus electores, pero se vieron obligados a abandonar sus cargos por una nueva directiva de Beijing que descalifica a cualquier defensor o partidario de la autonom\u00eda de Hong Kong, que Beijing prometi\u00f3 proteger, para ocupar cargos electos.<\/p>\n
\u201cEs fundamental que Estados Unidos y todos los aliados de la libertad se unan para reconocer y condenar las ramificaciones innegables y de gran alcance de esta toma de poder autoritaria, que ha eliminado lo poco que quedaba del sistema pol\u00edtico democr\u00e1tico de Hong Kong y viola las obligaciones del tratado de China. Nos solidarizamos con los servidores p\u00fablicos derrocados, sus 15 colegas que renunciaron en protesta por la represi\u00f3n de hoy y todos los hongkoneses que se han levantado una y otra vez frente a un r\u00e9gimen brutal por el bien de su ciudad y los valores. ellos tienen cari\u00f1o. Eres escuchado, visto y apoyado en todo el mundo, y las acciones de Beijing tendr\u00e1n consecuencias\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
Los senadores Merkley y Rubio han sido firmes defensores del apoyo a la libertad y la democracia en Hong Kong, incluso defendiendo la Ley de derechos humanos y democracia de Hong Kong<\/i><\/a> y el Ley de puerto seguro de Hong Kong<\/i><\/a>. El oto\u00f1o pasado, el Senador Merkley aprob\u00f3 con \u00e9xito una legislaci\u00f3n para prohibir la exportaci\u00f3n de municiones para el control de multitudes a Hong Kong en un esfuerzo por ayudar a proteger a los manifestantes pac\u00edficos durante las manifestaciones en curso a favor de la democracia. A principios de este a\u00f1o, el Senador Merkley se asoci\u00f3 con el Senador Todd Young (R-IN) en un esfuerzo bipartidista para presionar al Alto Comisionado de las Naciones Unidas para los Derechos Humanos para una estrategia para proteger los derechos humanos en todo el mundo, incluso en Hong Kong, durante el coronavirus. pandemia.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
