Hong Kong’s Democratic Party formally voted to disband on Sunday after three decades. The party, widely considered to be moderate, was the territory’s only remaining big pro-democracy group. It had already signalled its intent to shutter, in the face of a crackdown on organisations considered anti-government. The vote to dissolve the party came a day before judges are set to deliver a ruling in the national security trial of Hong Kong media tycoon and pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai.
