Joshua Wong urges people to donate money before an annual candlelight vigil at Hong Kong’s Victoria Park in 2017.
China enacted the security law for the restless city last week, banning acts of subversion, secession, terrorism and collusion with foreign forces.

Over the weekend, public libraries removed a number of books written by dissidents, including a title by Wong, to review whether they complied with the new law.
