Frances Hui is a democracy and human rights activist from Hong Kong. Hui became an activist at the early age of 14 and joined Hong Kong’s 2014 Umbrella Movement. Despite being abroad during the subsequent 2019-2020 protests, Hui organized global solidarity rallies and briefed US officials on the plight of Hong Kong’s population. After graduating in 2020, Hui returned to Hong Kong. However, fearing for her safety upon the imposition of the National Security Law, she was forced to seek asylum in the US shortly after. She is the first Hong Kong activist to be granted political asylum in the United States following the adoption of the National Security Law in 2020.
