One of Hong Kong's last opposition parties, the LSD, will dissolve, a move accelerated by Beijing's 2020 security law. The party was once a prominent pro-democracy voice. The LSD, a radical faction within Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement, was founded in 2006 and once held three parliamentary seats. The party cited the security law as a key factor in its decline. The party stated it would not survive to its 20th anniversary, with a representative saying they would announce their dissolution.
