The group, founded in May by independent Legislator Freddy Lim , has 50 legislative members across party lines, reports Taipei Times.

The Legislative Yuan will continue to monitor and improve Taiwan’s humanitarian aid mechanisms for Hong Kongers, the group said in a statement.

The Hong Kong government's decision to disqualify four opposition lawmakers on Wednesday led to a cascading effect, as 15 others from Hong Kong's pro-democracy camp in the legislature also tendered their resignation.

The government move came after China's Standing Committee of the National People's Congress (China's Parliament) adopted a new resolution, regarding the qualifications for members of Hong Kong's 70-seat Legislative Council.

As per a Kyodo report, the disqualified lawmakers include Dennis Kwok, Alvin Yeung and Kwok Ka-ki of the Civic Party and Kenneth Leung from the accounting sector.

These four were among a dozen candidates from the pro-democracy camp, previously barred from running in the next legislative election.
