Hong Kong convicts 14 pro-democracy activists in landmark national security trial
A Hong Kong court has found 14 pro-democracy activists guilty on charges of subversion in the city’s largest national security case so far.
They were among 47 pro-democracy campaigners who were detained and charged in 2021 for plotting to “overthrow” the government by participating in unofficial election primaries for the semi-autonomous Chinese territory’s legislature in 2020.
