A Hong Kong court sentenced 45 pro-democracy activists, including well-known figures Joshua Wong and Benny Tai, in a national security trial linked to a 2020 primary election. This group, known as the Hong Kong 47, faced charges under the national security law imposed by China, accused of attempting to subvert the government. The trial has drawn international attention as many activists continue facing repressive legal actions following the 2019 protests. The sentences meted out vary, with imprisonment terms ranging from four years to ten years.
