Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Leaders Sentenced to Prison Under National Security Law
A Hong Kong court has sentenced key pro-democracy figures Benny Tai to 10 years and Joshua Wong to over four years in prison for subversion related to their involvement in a plan to select opposition candidates for local elections. This sentencing follows a controversial national security trial that targeted 47 activists and lawmakers, marking the largest application of the national security law imposed by China after the 2019 pro-democracy protests.
