Nathan Law Kwun-chung (Chinese: 羅冠聰; born 13 July 1993) is a politician and activist in Hong Kong. As a former student leader, he had been chairman of the Representative Council of the Lingnan University Students' Union, acting president of the Lingnan University Students' Union (LUSU) and secretary general of the Hong Kong Federation of Students (HKFS). He was one of the student leaders during the 79-days Umbrella Revolution in 2014. He is the current chairman of Demosistō, a new political party derived from the 2014 protests.
On 4 September 2016, at the age of 23, Law was elected to serve as a legislator from the Hong Kong Island geographic constituency, making him the youngest lawmaker in the history of the Legislative Council of Hong Kong. Over his controversial swearing-in manner at the Legislative Council inaugural meeting, his office was challenged by the government which resulted in his disqualification from the Legislative Council on 14 July 2017.
Law was born on 13 July 1993 in Shenzhen, Guangdong, China, to a Hong Kong father and a Mainland mother. He moved to Hong Kong with his mother for family reunion when he was around six years old. He received his secondary education at HKFEW Wong Cho Bau Secondary School, and is currently an undergraduate majoring in Cultural Studies at the Lingnan University (LU).
