香港众志周庭上周被取消311立法会补选的参选资格后，事件继续引起国际回响。英国外交部今日（1日）发声明表示感到忧虑，强调港人的被选举权获香港《基本法》保护。
英国外交部发言人表示，对周庭被DQ感到忧虑，港人的被选举权是在《基本法》第26条和《香港人权法案条例》保障下的基本权利。
发言人又指，高度自治、权利和自由是香港的核心，应该得到充分尊重。
We are concerned by the rejection of Agnes Chow’s nomination for the forthcoming Legislative Council by-election. The right to stand for election is a fundamental right enshrined in Article 26 of the Basic Law of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region and the Hong Kong Bill of Rights. Hong Kong’s high degree of autonomy, and its rights and freedoms, are central to its way of life, and it is important that they should be fully respected.
