Hong Kong activist Nathan Law applies for asylum in Britain. Exclusive: Law said he chose UK in hope of ‘sounding an alarm’ over threats to democracy in Europe from China.
Nathan Law photographed in London where he lives in exile. Nathan Law Kwun-chung is an activist from Hong Kong. As a former student leader, he has been chairman of the Representative Council of the Lingnan University Students' Union (LUSU), acting president of the LUSU, and secretary-general of the Hong Kong Federation of Students (HKFS). He was one of the student leaders during the 79-day Umbrella Movement in 2014. He is the founding and former chairman of Demosisto?, a new political party derived from the 2014 protests.
On 4 September 2016, at the age of 23, Law was elected to serve as a legislator for Hong Kong Island, making him the youngest lawmaker in the history of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. Over his controversial oath-taking at the Legislative Council inaugural meeting, his office was challenged by the Hong Kong Government which resulted in his disqualification from the Legislative Council on 14 July 2017. Chris Patten, the last British governor of Hong Kong, has described him as "a typically brave representative of a generation whose spirit the Communist Party wants to stamp out."
Following the enactment of the National Security Law on 1 July 2020, Law announced that he had moved to London, United Kingdom.

On 4 September 2016, at the age of 23, Law was elected to serve as a legislator for Hong Kong Island, making him the youngest lawmaker in the history of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. Over his controversial oath-taking at the Legislative Council inaugural meeting, his office was challenged by the Hong Kong Government which resulted in his disqualification from the Legislative Council on 14 July 2017. Chris Patten, the last British governor of Hong Kong, has described him as "a typically brave representative of a generation whose spirit the Communist Party wants to stamp out."
Following the enactment of the National Security Law on 1 July 2020, Law announced that he had moved to London, United Kingdom.

Romania comes to terms with monument to communism 30 years after Ceausescu's death. Bucharest’s notorious Palace of the Parliament bears witness to the folly of dictator shot dead on Christmas Day 1989.
Bucharest’s most notorious building sits atop a small hill in the centre of the city, appearing squat despite its 84-metre height, due to its vast length and breadth. The Palace of the Parliament, as it is now called, is a monument to dictatorial folly whose benefactor was executed before he could see it completed. It's 30 years since Romania’s communist-era dictator, Nicolae Ceau?escu, was tried and shot dead along with his wife, as the last revolution of 1989 swept through what was perhaps the communist bloc’s most repressive state. Yet in a strange twist of fate, three decades after the Ceau?escu’s fall, his sinister fortress still dominates a whole quarter of central Bucharest. The building, planned to house every ministry under one supersized roof and act as the nerve centre for the entire communist government, today hosts Romania’s parliament.The Romanian parliament building in Bucharest. About one-fifth of the city was bulldozed to build the so-called House of the People. Gaggles of wide-eyed tourists are taken around on tours a few times each day, although the two-kilometre walk takes in just 5% of the building’s rooms. Visitors are shown hall after hall of ever more absurd proportions: one is the size of half a football pitch, with eight chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. The spaces designed for huge portraits of Ceau?escu and his wife, one at each end of the hall, are blank. Pictured: A guide explains a stylized drawing of the Romanian Parliament building, in Bucharest, Romania.
