flag Hong Kong's Democratic Party dissolves after 30 years due to Beijing's pressure and national security law.

flag Hong Kong’s Democratic Party, the city’s last major opposition group, has voted to disband after over 30 years, citing intense pressure from Beijing and the national security law. flag The decision, supported by 117 of 121 members, follows arrests of senior leaders, electoral reforms limiting candidates to "patriots," and the closure of other pro-democracy groups and media outlets. flag The party’s leadership said the move was necessary to protect members from legal risks. flag The dissolution marks the end of a significant chapter in Hong Kong’s political history and reflects broader constraints on civil liberties under the "one country, two systems" framework.
