#PowerforDemocracy Disbanded in Hong Kong
In Hong Kong, Power for Democracy announced its immediate disbandment on Feb 27, 2021.
Set up in 2002, the group has coordinated the district council elections in 2019 and the pro-democracy camp’s #LegCo primaries in 2020.
In Jan 2021, the Hong Kong authorities arrested over 50 poltical figures for participating in the primaries and "vioating the #NationalSecurityLaw".
In a statement, convenor and district councillor #AndrewChiu said the decision was made regarding “the latest development in the situation of Hong Kong under the 'new political era'.”
Chiu said the group has now stopped running, but members will continue to serve Hong Kong people.
