The Hong Kong Independence Party[a] (HKIP) is a non-profit organisation which advocates Hong Kong independence or the return of Hong Kong's sovereignty to the United Kingdom. It was registered in the United Kingdom as a political party from 27 February 2015[1] to 11 February 2018, and is based in London.[2] The party's slogan is "Independence for Hong Kong, rejoin the Commonwealth of Nations" (香港獨立，重回英聯邦).[3]
In April 2024, Joseph John, HKIP president and socia media accounts manager, was sentenced to five years in jail for conspiring to incite others to commit secession, a crime under the Hong Kong national security law. He had been arrested in November 2022 upon arriving in Hong Kong from the United Kingdom for a family visit. As a holder of a Portuguese passport and a Hong Kong identity card, he was the first dual national convicted and jailed under the security law.[4][5]
