On November 20, 2024, Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Chris Smith, and Rep. Tom Suozzi joined a Capitol Hill press conference co-hosted by several organizations, including the Hong Kong Democracy Council (HKDC), to condemn the unjust sentencing of 45 pro-democracy advocates in Hong Kong. Speakers included prominent activists and representatives from advocacy groups such as HKDC, the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation, and Hong Kong Watch.
The U.S. State Department announced new visa restrictions on Hong Kong officials enforcing the National Security Law, but HKDC expressed disappointment in the lack of stronger measures, urging the Administration to impose targeted sanctions.
