Hong Kong's increasingly brittle government responds to children’s books, mobile games, and foreign holidays with legal threats and censorship.

Life goes on in Hong Kong – but to where?

Beijing has torn up Hong Kong’s freedoms and now threatens the security of Hong Kongers and their supporters around the world. It must not be allowed to get away with this with impunity.

As the anniversary approached, authorities heaped new charges on a jailed vigil organizer. 

Prosecutors had accused them of attempting to paralyze Hong Kong’s government by securing the legislative majority necessary to veto budgets.
