The Hong Kong\u002Dborn member of Parliament has been outspoken against human\u002Drights violations by the Chinese Communist Party.
“My takeaway from that briefing is this: No matter what foreign interference is being done to me, I will not relent on the work that I’m doing,” said Kwan, who is a New Democrat.
The 1989 crackdown in Beijing saw tanks roll into the city and hundreds, if not thousands, of pro-democracy student protesters killed. “There is an active approach to erase this history,” said Kwan, who emigrated from Hong Kong when she was nine. “I hope those of us outside of Hong Kong and China would find the courage to speak up and let the people of Hong Kong we stand with them and that our voice is an extension of their voice,” Kwan said.
“Those are definitely real concerns, but I cannot allow for anything to deter me from doing this work. If I’m afraid to speak up, what does that mean for everyday people?”Article content
