Hong Kong’s last standing protesters testing Beijing’s security law – BBC Newsnight
Hong Kong’s civil society has been decimated by a Beijing-imposed security law that has all but silenced the political opposition.
47 of the city’s best-known critics are facing possible life in prison after being charged with conspiracy to subvert the State. They took part in an unofficial election, and they’ve faced more than two years in detention before their trial has even begun.
In 2019, the former British colony saw back-to-back street demonstrations in which thousands took to the streets to fight against greater control from Beijing.
Newsnight has been filming with one of the last groups in Hong Kong that dares to protest. Danny Vincent reports.

The UK had to “call out” Israeli settlement activity in the West Bank before it was “too late” to save the two-state solution, the foreign secretary has said.
Ed Milliband has announced the UK would ban the import of goods from Israeli settlements in the illegally occupied West Bank.
Israel has built around 160 settlements housing 700,000 people since then, despite all Israeli settlements in the West Bank being illegal under international law. Around 3.3 million Palestinians live alongside them.
Israel has responded with four “counter-measures” against the UK – including the closure of the UK consulate in Jerusalem, which is expected to shut in the next 30 days.
