Warning against travel to 50 countries over China risk

Britain’s foreign office has warned a British parliamentarian as well as a trio of prominent human rights campaigners against travelling to more than 50 countries with extradition treaties with China after being named in a Hong Kong security case. Sources not free to talk on the record have confirmed that Lord David Alton, who has been pushing Boris Johnson’s government to adopt a tougher China policy, was told by senior foreign office officials that he needed to consider the implications of travelling to third countries that could send them to China. Officials also warned human rights campaigner Bill Browder and Luke Pulford, co-ordinator of the Interparliamentary Alliance (IPAC), as well as the British Hong Kong activist Jack Hazlewood.
