<p>We take allegations of the mistreatment of medical personnel in Hong Kong extremely
seriously. We expect the Hong Kong authorities to abide by international humanitarian
laws and practices. It is vital that those who are injured are able to receive appropriate
medical treatment.</p><p>The Foreign Secretary summoned the Chinese Ambassador on
19 November and set out his concerns about the situation in Hong Kong. The leadership
in China and Hong Kong is in no doubt about the strength of UK concern over the current
situation, and our commitment to seeing the rights and freedoms guaranteed by the
Joint Declaration upheld. We will continue to raise our concerns with the Hong Kong
SAR Government and the authorities in Beijing.</p>
