HONG KONG—One of Hong Kong’s most established pro-democracy civic organizations said it is letting go its paid staff and halving the size of its steering committee after Beijing stepped up its suppression on opposition activity in the semi-autonomous Chinese city.
The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China is best known for organizing an annual rally and candlelight vigil remembering those killed in the bloody 1989 suppression on pro-democracy protests in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square.
