Hong Kong's Young Pro-Democracy Activists Face Exile or Imprisonment
-
Agnes Chow, Nathan Law, Joshua Wong, Lester Shum, and Edward Leung were once young, leading faces of Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement.
-
Chow recently revealed she left Hong Kong 3 months ago and is now living in Canada with a master's program, with no plans to return due to an ongoing national security case against her.
-
Law left Hong Kong before the 2020 national security law and now has asylum status in the UK, but Hong Kong police want him arrested under the security law.
-
Wong remains in custody in Hong Kong along with Shum, both accused of subversion over an opposition primary in 2020.
-
Leung was released early from prison in 2022 after serving time for protest-related offenses, but has withdrawn from public life under security law supervision.
