Ireland and the Netherlands Suspend Extradition Agreements with Hong Kong; Hong Kong Government Suspends Surrender of Fugitive Offenders and Mutual Legal Assistance
荷蘭及愛爾蘭政府上月宣布，因應香港實施港區國安法，決定暫停與香港執行引渡協議。港府今日（10 日）表示，根據中央人民政府指示，已分別向兩國的駐香港總領事館發出通知，暫停履行兩國的移交逃犯協定，以及刑事事宜相互司法協助的協定。
港府發言人指兩國「將司法合作政治化」，損害香港與兩國之間開展司法合作的基礎，批評兩國以港區國安法為籍口，單方面暫停履行與香港特區簽訂的移交逃犯協定。發言人重申，通過法律維護國家安全是國際慣例，「公然干涉中國内政，違反國際法和國際關係基本準則，香港特區政府對此堅決反對。」
The governments of the Netherlands and Ireland announced last month that, in response to Hong Kong’s implementation of the National Security Law, they had decided to suspend the implementation of their extradition agreements with Hong Kong. The Hong Kong government said today (10th) that, acting on instructions from the Central People’s Government, it had notified the two countries’ consulates general in Hong Kong that it was suspending the implementation of the agreements on the surrender of fugitive offenders and mutual legal assistance in criminal matters.
A Hong Kong government spokesperson said the two countries had “politicised judicial cooperation”, undermining the foundation for judicial cooperation between Hong Kong and the two countries. The spokesperson criticised the two countries for using the National Security Law as a pretext to unilaterally suspend the implementation of the agreements on the surrender of fugitive offenders signed with the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region. The spokesperson reiterated that using the law to safeguard national security is an international practice, saying: “Openly interfering in China’s internal affairs violates international law and the basic norms governing international relations. The Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government firmly opposes this.”

Finland Suspends Extradition Agreement with Hong Kong; Security Bureau: Interference in China’s Internal Affairs, Firmly Opposed — “Finland Must Answer to the Rule of Law”
《港區國安法》繼續引起國際迴響，繼美國、英國、加拿大、澳洲及新西蘭組成的「五眼聯盟」先後暫停與香港的引渡協議，芬蘭昨日（16 日）亦暫停與香港的引渡協議。保安局則表示，堅決反對芬蘭的做法，批評芬蘭是因為政治目的，以國安法為借口，單方面暫停與香港的引渡協議，是「雙重標準的政治操作，公然干涉中國內政」。
The Hong Kong National Security Law continued to draw international reaction. After the United States, the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, which make up the “Five Eyes” alliance, successively suspended their extradition agreements with Hong Kong, Finland also suspended its extradition agreement with Hong Kong yesterday (16th). The Security Bureau said it firmly opposed Finland’s action, criticising Finland for unilaterally suspending the extradition agreement with Hong Kong for political purposes and using the national security law as a pretext. It described the move as “political manoeuvring based on double standards that openly interferes in China’s internal affairs”.
