劉康透露，中國國安惡法實施前，他因知道自己會因政見，而受香港政府政治迫害，所以六月尾已抵達英國倫敦希思路機場申請政治庇護。劉康斥，中國國安惡法嚴重侵犯言論自由同人權。
劉康指，他過往已因政治立場而慘遭政府迫害，例如在2017年11月明報校園記者開學禮，與林鄭月娥合照期間，高舉香港獨立標語示威之後，就慘遭香港政府無理報復拘捕、控告及還押監獄，「反映自己一直被香港政府高度政治針對」。劉康又指，他上年7月公開到英美領事館請求英美制裁侵犯香港人自由的親中人士，他亦在上年8月出版主張香港獨立的政論集《輕論時政》，他認為「香港政府同中國政府會陰險地用中國國安惡法秋後算帳」。
劉康提及，抵達英國後，由鄭文傑成立的避風驛（Haven Assistance），一直協助他處理政治庇護程序，又免費為他安排了律師，亦解答他英國日常生活問題。劉康對鄭文傑及避風驛，表示非常感謝，亦建議流亡英國的香港抗爭者不妨尋找避風驛協助。
劉康亦非常感激，英國政府及國會議員以各種方式支持香港民主抗爭者。劉康表示，英國政府一直禮待他，包括妥善安排住宿，提供每日三餐。
劉康表示，在英國可以呼吸自由空氣，享受言論自由，不用再受到香港政府及中國政府迫害及恐嚇，但他對香港政府及中國政府損害香港人自由，仍然感到非常憤怒，「香港明明屬於香港人，但而家要走嘅人係香港人，而唔係班賣港賊。」
劉康呼籲，世界各國，包括英國、美國、歐盟、臺灣、日本及所有文明國家，制裁香港政府及中國政府，包括對侵犯人權者實行，禁止入境、凍結資產及貿易制裁。他解釋，制裁是為了捍衛香港人言論自由與人權，讓暴政者承受打壓自由的代價。加上，中國國安惡法冒犯了全球每個人，因為祇要勇於批評香港或中國政府垃圾政策，就會違反這個惡法。
他又指，最近香港政府用中國國安惡法迫害主張獨立的人士，明顯是踐踏言論自由、人道災難，而如果自己沒有及時去到英國，「今日香港政府就會拘捕我、迫害我。」

Hong Kong Democratic Activist Honcques Laus Has Applied for Political Asylum in Great Britain
Lead:
Hong Kong democratic activist Honcques Laus (劉康) disclosed today that he had moved to Great Britain in late June for seeking political asylum, because he would face political persecution with China's National Security Law, by reason of his political opinion - he approved of Hong Kong independence (he publicly demonstrated against Carrie Lam with Hong Kong Independence slogan in 2017. And he published his book supporting Hong Kong independence last year), and he also approved of imposing sanctions on human rights violators in Hong Kong. He mentioned that he got support from Simon Cheng and Haven Assistance. He also got support from the UK government. He sincerely requested the international community to impose sanctions against the Hong Kong government and the Chinese government for violation of human rights.
Body:
Honcques revealed that he had applied for political asylum at London Heathrow Airport in late June. He explained, "China's Evil National Security Law is a blatant violation of freedom of speech and human rights", and he would face political persecution by reason of his political opinion in Hong Kong.
Honcques said he had been already politically persecuted by the Hong Kong government. In November 2017, he was a secondary school student, and first grabbed headline when he demonstrated against Carrie Lam with Hong Kong Independence slogan during a photography opportunity. After that, he was subject to politically motivated arrest, prosecution, and imprisonment by the Hong Kong government. He concluded that he had been highly politically targeted by the Hong Kong government.
Honcques said, in July last year, he went to the UK Consulate and the US Consulate to request the UK and the US to impose sanctions against some pro-China politicians who violated the freedom of Hongkongers. In August last year, he published his book 輕論時政, approving of Hong Kong independence, and criticising the Hong Kong government. He discerned, he would be politically persecuted by the Hong Kong government and the Chinese government, with China's Evil National Security Law.
Honcques mentioned that Simon Cheng and Haven Assistance had been assisting him in the political asylum process, arranging a solicitor for him and answering his questions about daily life in the UK. He said he was grateful to Simon Cheng and Haven Assistance. He suggested, Hong Kong protesters in exile in Great Britain seek assistance from Haven Assistance.
Honcques said he was very appreciative of all the support the UK government and Members of Parliament had given the Hong Kong democratic protesters. Honcques also described that the UK government had been treating him excellently, including arranging for him to stay in an accommodation and offering three good meals a day to him free of charge as well.
Honcques stated, he could breathe free air and enjoy the freedom of speech in Great Britain. And in Great Britain, he would not be persecuted and threatened by the Hong Kong government and the Chinese government any longer. However, he was really angry that the Hong Kong government and the Chinese government violating the freedom of Hongkongers. "Hong Kong obviously belongs to Hongkongers, not China's communist bandits. Unfortunately, China's communist bandits still occupy Hong Kong, and Hongkongers have to leave their homeland." Honcques said.
Honcques sincerely requested all the countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States, the European Union, Taiwan, Japan and all civilized nations, to impose sanctions against human rights violators of the Hong Kong government and the Chinese government, including immigration bans, asset freezes and trade sanctions. He explained that the sanctions could defend the freedom of speech and human rights of Hongkongers and to make tyrants pay the price for oppression. "China's Evil National Security Law, moreover, offends everyone around the globe, as it is probably applied to anyone, who is courageous to criticise the bad policy of Hong Kong or China." Honcques also clarified.
Honcques also pointed out that the recent Hong Kong government's use of China's national security laws to persecute independents in Hong Kong is distinctly a violation of freedom of speech and a humanitarian disaster. "If I haven't moved to the UK promptly, then I would be politically arrested and persecuted by the Hong Kong government today." Honcques said.
