Hong Kong’s democratic opposition has been hit hard by national security law imposed by Beijing
One of Hong Kong’s biggest democratic parties said on Saturday it would disband after a vote by its party members, dealing another blow to the city’s already beleaguered democratic opposition under pressure from China.
“The world is ever changing. History will tell. Today, the Civic Party is bidding Hong Kong farewell. We hope Hong Kong people will live in the moment with a hopeful and not too heavy heart. Live in truth and believe in tomorrow,” Leong, a senior barrister, wrote in a statement. China’s imposition of a sweeping national security law in Hong Kong in 2020, however, saw a number of its members arrested including former lawmakers Alvin Yeung and Jeremy Tam.
