On Jan 19, 2021, Morgan Ortagus, the spokeperson of the State Department of the United States vocally condemned the January-14 arrest of 11 Hongkongers who were accused by the Hong Kong police of aiding 12 pro-democracy Hongkongers to flee the city.
The US State Department demanded all charges to be "immediately dropped" and reiterates that the latest sanctions announced by the US government are "a direct response to Beijing’s evisceration of Hong Kong’s autonomy and freedoms".
