Hong Kong’s largest national security trial to end with sentencing of HK47
The ‘Hong Kong 47’ were arrested in 2021 after holding an unofficial election primary and many face hefty sentences
Hong Kong’s largest national security trial will draw to a close on Tuesday, with dozens of the city’s most prominent democracy campaigners to be sentenced for subversion, a charge that can carry life imprisonment.
Beijing imposed a sweeping national security law on the financial hub in 2020, snuffing out months of massive pro-democracy protests.
