Demosistō (/ˌdɛməˈsɪst/Chinese香港眾志)[2] is a pro-democracy organisation advocating self-determination for Hong Kong initially established on 10 April 2016 as a political party. It is led by the former leaders of ScholarismJoshua Wong and Agnes Chow, along with former secretary-general of the Hong Kong Federation of Students(HKFS) Nathan Law, and Deputy Secretary-General Chris Kwok Hei Yiu. Scholarism and the Hong Kong Federation of Students (HKFS) were the two student activist groups which played an instrumental role in the 79-day occupy protests known as the Umbrella Revolution in 2014.[3] Secretary-general Joshua Wong is the leader of the organisation.
Demosistō advocates a referendum to determine Hong Kong's sovereignty with the goal of obtaining autonomy[4]after 2047, when the One Country, Two Systems principle as promised in the Sino-British Joint Declaration and the Hong Kong Basic Law is supposed to expire. It won a seat in the 2016 Legislative Council election with its 23-year-old chairman Nathan Law becoming the youngest candidate ever to be elected.[3] In 2017, Law was disqualified from the Legislative Council over the oath-taking controversy and was imprisoned with Joshua Wong for the storming into the Civic Square during the Umbrella Revolution.
