AI Summary:
League of Social Democrats is the only pro-democracy party that still staged small street protests from time to time. Its chairperson, Chan Po-ying, said the disbandment decision was made after careful deliberation. Critics say drastic political changes reflect freedoms Beijing promised to keep intact in 1997 are shrinking. Chinese official overseeing Hong Kong affairs in 2023 said protests are not the only way for people to express their views. In April, Hong Kong’s biggest pro-democracy party, the Democratic Party, also voted to give its leadership the mandate to move toward a potential disbandment. A final vote is expected at a later date. Chan and other members were fined after being found guilty over their street booth activities. Undeterred by their convictions, they kept pressing on and protested.
