One of Hong Kong's last major pro-democracy parties disbands

Hong Kong's League of Social Democrats, a major pro-democracy party, has announced its disbandment due to immense pressure and the politicization of the city. The decision, made by current and former members, follows the closure of bank accounts, imprisonments, and restrictions faced by opposition groups under the national security law. The move adds to the trend of shrinking political freedoms and the diminishing presence of dissenting voices in Hong Kong.
