The Civil Human Rights Front (CHRF), the biggest opposition alliance in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR), announced in a statement that it will disband on a unanimous resolution, starting Sunday, according to Hong Kong media reports.
Subsequently, the Hong Kong Police Force (HKPF) issued a statement on Sunday saying that the HKPF would continue to investigate and pursue the CHRF’s crimes in accordance with the law.
The pro-democracy outfit has dissolved itself amid pressure from China. The CHRF has been in operation for almost two decades, famously setting up the annual July 1 protests.
Hong Kong police on Sunday said it will continue to follow up any possible violations of the National Security Law or other laws by the Civil Human Rights Front, which announced its decision to disband on the same day.
