Lawmakers introduce bill to rename street next to Hong Kong's Washington office after pro-democracy media owner Jimmy Lai .

Lai was the founder of the Apple Daily , a now-shuttered Chinese -language newspaper that championed mass demonstrations in 2019 aimed at safeguarding democratic liberties promised when Beijing took control of the former British colony.

China quelled dissent after the protests, some involved vandalism, including through a tough security law.
