Hong Kong's last democrats: Activists fight for freedom despite Beijing's crackdown

Hong Kong National Security Police Prison

FOCUS © FRANCE 24

What's left of Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement? Since the implementation of the 2020 National Security law, police have been arresting anti-regime activists en masse.

Report by Lou Kisiela, Antoine Morel, Meredith Chen, Vivien Wong and Yena Lee.
