Amnesty International has announced it will close its two Hong Kong offices by the end of 2021. The human rights NGO said on October 25, 2021, that its office focusing on Hong Kong affairs would shut on October 31, while another dealing with regional affairs would close by the end of the year and shift operations to other Amnesty offices in the Asia-Pacific. The global agency said a national security law China’s central government imposed on Hong Kong in June 2020 has made Amnesty’s human rights work in the city “effectively impossible.”
