Five years after the implementation of the National Security Law (NSL), many pro-democracy political parties, trade unions, professional groups, and civic organizations have disbanded in Hong Kong.
The most recent is the League of Social Democrats, a 19-year-old organization that held a press conference on June 29 to announce its dissolution, citing “tremendous political pressure.” The group was the only remaining pro-democracy party in Hong Kong that was still active.
