Nathan Law on the future for pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong • FRANCE 24 English

FRANCE24, 07 Sep 2022
In the past 25 years since #HongKong was handed over to #China from British rule, the self-government and freedoms it was originally promised have gradually been eroded. After the Umbrella Movement in 2014, Beijing's controversial extradition law in 2019 and its equally controversial national security law a year later, there's little space left for civil liberties in Hong Kong. Nathan Law, who became its youngest legislator in 2016, is now an exiled #activist whose recently published book gives an account of China's growing authoritarianism and what activists can do to confront it. He joined us for #Perspective from London.
