Hong Kong’s High Court has sentenced 45 pro-democracy activists to up to 10 years in prison for their involvement in an unofficial 2020 vote, marking a major blow to the city’s democracy movement. The charges, under Beijing’s national security law, included conspiracy to commit subversion. Among those sentenced is former legal scholar Benny Tai, identified as an organizer. The ruling has drawn global criticism, including from Western governments and U.S. officials, who labeled the trial as politically motivated. Tight security surrounded the verdict announcement, with hundreds gathering in the rain for courtroom access. The case highlights growing tensions over Hong Kong’s freedoms and its standing as a global financial hub.
