Summary
In Hong Kong’s largest national security trial, 45 pro-democracy activists were sentenced to jail terms ranging from four to ten years for their involvement in a 2020 primary election aimed at pushing pro-democracy goals.
The prosecution, criticized as politically motivated, found the primaries were an attempt to cause a constitutional crisis.
The case highlights the Beijing-led crackdown on dissent and political freedom in Hong Kong.
