The Australian Values Alliance condemns the Hong Kong Authorities for issuing Arrest Warrant with bounty on Australian citizen Chongyi Feng

The Australian Values Alliance strongly condemns the Hong Kong Authorities for issuing an Arrest Warrant with bounty imposed on Dr Chongyi Feng, an Australian citizen and an Associate Professor at the University of Technology, Sydney.  The Act of the Hong Kong Authorities is an attempt to apply the Hong Kong National Security Law across borders. It is not only a severe threat to the life and the freedom of expression and assembly of an Australian citizen, but also a blatant infringement of the national sovereignty of Australia.

Dr Feng is one of the founding members of the Australian Values Alliance which was established in 2016. He is an academic of integrity and courage who has played a part in maintaining values of democracy and freedom of Australia and containing the massive infiltration from  Communist dictatorship. Due to his high reputation, he was invited to join the Hong Kong Parliament Electoral Organizing Committee, which offered an excuse for the Hong Kong Authorities to place him into the list of Arrest Warrants with bounties.

The Australian Values Alliance welcomes the announcements on this case made by Hon Senator Penny Wong, Minister for Foreign Affairs, and Hon Michaelia Cash, Shadow Minister for Foreign Affairs and Leader of the Opposition in the Senate, and supports the freedom of expression and assembly of the Hong Kong community and citizens in Australia. We hereby request the Australian Federal Police and the New South Wales Police to reinforce personal safety protection for Professor Chongyi Feng and other dictatorship critics so that every citizen in Australia can enjoy freedom of expression and freedom from fear. We also request the Australian government to take solid actions against the transnational repression by the Hong Kong Authorities. The Hong Kong officials who are directly involved in policy-decision or execution of transnational repression should be named and listed as persona non grata and banned from entry to Australia permanently.
