SCMP｜Hong Kong women’s group condemns entry of Tates amid safety and equality concerns
Association Concerning Sexual Violence Against Women says Andrew and Tristan Tate should be categorised as ‘undesirable for entry’ by authorities
A Hong Kong women’s rights group has criticised authorities for allowing controversial British-American influencers Andrew and Tristan Tate, who are facing rape and human trafficking charges abroad, to enter the city, saying the decision contradicts the government’s commitment to women’s safety.
As the brothers continued to publicise their activities in the city, the Rosewood Hong Kong – reported to be hosting them – told the South China Morning Post on Tuesday that it “does not condone discrimination, racism or any form of hateful or exclusionary conduct”.
The brothers, who both face rape and human trafficking charges in Romania and the United Kingdom, entered Hong Kong over the weekend, sparking heated discussions online and outrage over why they were permitted entry.
