Hong Kong activist Agnes Chow released on protest anniversary

The 24-year-old activist served nearly seven months for her role in an unauthorised assembly during anti-government protests in the city in 2019. Hong Kong democracy activist Agnes Chow was released Saturday from prison on the second anniversary of the city’s huge democracy rallies, with police out in force and protests now all but banned. A Beijing-imposed national security law has also criminalised much dissent and most of the city’s democracy leaders have been arrested, jailed or fled overseas. Sweeping crackdown Chow hails from a generation of activists who cut their teeth in politics as teenagers and became an inspiration for those who chafe under Beijing’s increasingly authoritarian rule. Huge crowds rallied week after week in the most serious challenge to China’s rule since Hong Kong’s 1997 handover.
