Nathan Law
Exiled pro-democracy activist; former legislator
Exile, speak, travel — until a border closes in Singapore.
Nathan Law was Hong Kong's youngest legislator before disqualification and fled in 2020 after the national security law. UK-asylum holder and wanted by Hong Kong authorities with a HK$1m bounty, he was denied entry to Singapore in September 2025 despite a approved visa — deportation he believes was political.
Basis for the leaning assessment
Law is strongly blue: diaspora activism, anti-NSL, foreign advocacy — among the most prominent exiled Hong Kong democrats. (No freely licensed photograph exists; profile shows a labeled editorial illustration.)
