Graphic Truth: Last democracy domino falls in Hong Kong
Hong Kong’s League of Social Democrats, the last active pro-democracy party in the Chinese-controlled territory, announced on Sunday that it was disbanding, putting another nail in the coffin of the city’s democracy. China’s draconian national security law of 2020 has led to hundreds of arrests in recent years, all but silencing Hong Kong’s broader opposition movement. With the folding of the League of Social Democrats, Hong Kong’s Beijing-installed Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu will now rule without even the slightest hint of dissent.
