Hong Kong opposition party League of Social Democrats to disband ...Middle East

News by : (Daily Sun) -

The party was founded in 2006 and was once considered the radical faction in Hong Kong’s pro-democracy camp. It was known for its boisterous street-level campaigning, often spearheaded by the now-jailed activist “Long Hair” Leung Kwok-hung.

It consistently called for greater democracy in Hong Kong and advocated for grassroots causes, criticising social and economic inequalities in a city with one of the world’s largest wealth gaps.

The party held three seats in Hong Kong’s legislature at its height.

China and Hong Kong say the law was needed to curb political unrest, while critics say it has quelled dissent and curbed rights.

The party has held small public protests in recent years, often under heavy police surveillance.

Four members, including current leader Chan Po-ying, were fined this month for displaying a black cloth and raising money “without permits” in street campaigns.
