HONG KONG — The League of Social Democrats, one of the last political groups advocating pro-democracy causes in Hong Kong, is set to disband, multiple major local media outlets reported on Wednesday.
The reports came on the eve of the fifth anniversary of the strict national security law Beijing imposed on the city. The LSD’s Chairperson Chan Po-ying told media on the group’s WhatsApp account in Chinese: “Many thanks for so many people caring about whether the LSD is to dissolve or not. Temporarily, there is nothing we are able to say. I wish for your kind understanding.”
