<p>The UK was seriously concerned by the escalation in violence between protesters
and the authorities at Hong Kong’s Polytechnic University. At the time, we made clear
it was vital that those who were injured were able to receive appropriate medical
treatment, and that safe passage was provided to those who wished to leave the area.
We take the allegations set out by Dr Mann relating to the arrest of medical personnel
at Hong Kong Polytechnic University extremely seriously. We expect the Hong Kong authorities
to abide by international humanitarian laws and practices. We have called consistently
for a robust, independent inquiry into recent events.</p>
