London:

Britain on Monday suspended its extradition treaty with Hong Kong “instantly and indefinitely” in response to China’s introduction of a controversial new safety legislation within the territory.

International Secretary Dominic Raab confirmed the extensively anticipated transfer in parliament, and in addition mentioned London would lengthen its arms embargo on “doubtlessly deadly weapons” to the monetary hub.
