While much literature focuses on how those actions were exercised, their impact on civic culture is less discussed. In Hong Kong, the enactment of the National Security Law in 2020 was a critical response to the radical protests in 2019. Subject to this background, this paper examines the relationship between perceived fairness of the judiciary and dutiful citizenship in the context of a postmovement environment. With data collected from a population survey (N = 1,066), this paper suggests that people supporting the 2019 protests tended to perceive Hong Kong’s judiciary to be unfair, which led them to have weaker dutiful citizenship. The results of this research can contribute to the discussion of the perceived judicial fairness by addressing its potential impact on civic culture.enPerceived Fairness of JudiciaryDutiful CitizenshipAnti-ELAB MovementHong KongWeakened dutiful citizenship as movement’s aftermath? the mediating role of perceived fairness of judiciaryPeer Reviewed Journal Article10.1016/j.ajss.2026.100242
