Asked

Commonwealth and Development Affairs, if she will take steps to support Isabel Rose in Hong Kong.

Reply

I recognise how distressing it must be for Ms Rose, who has been unable to leave Hong Kong since 2024, and who has now been found guilty of the charges against her. We have provided consular assistance since Ms Rose's initial arrest, signposted her to local support groups, and officers from the British Consulate-General in Hong Kong attended her court hearing on 3 March. We will continue to provide assistance to her and her family while she awaits sentencing in July. We are in touch with the Hong Kong authorities.

Asked

Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what information her Department holds on the status of Karim Ennarah's case.

Reply

The UK regularly raises human rights and civil society issues with the Egyptian authorities. We are aware of Mr Karim Ennarah's case, and our Ambassador in Egypt met Mr Ennarah and his wife in October last year. We are committed to supporting human rights defenders, who play a vital role and should be able to work freely in Egypt, consistent with rights guaranteed under the Egyptian Constitution.
