Fair Elections and Free Speech Center | Global Elections III: Hong Kong

Register

Over the course of the past two years, Beijing has harshly imposed its will on Hong Kong, adopting a National Security Law in 2020 that has been used ever since to crush protest, debate, and independent media. The next Hong Kong legislative elections, scheduled for December 19th, will thus be taking place in a new environment of repression. With leading analysts and commentators, we will explore the particular challenges posed to democracy activists, social media companies, and others in the contest of Hong Kong's elections.

Glacier Kwong, political activist from Hong Kong and PhD candidate in law at the University of Hamburg
