Hong Kong teen activist Joshua Wong yesterday unveiled a new political party that plans to field candidates in upcoming elections, marking the next step in the pro-democracy movement’s evolution in Hong Kong.
Wong and several other young activists who led pro-democracy protests that gripped Hong Kong for 79 days in late 2014 said their new party is called Demosisto.
The teenager was the most visible face of the street protests, in which young activists occupied major thoroughfares of the HKSAR to protest Beijing’s plan to restrict elections.
