Hong Kong’s High Court on Tuesday sentenced 45 pro-democracy activists to up to 10 years in prison, following a landmark trial that hurt the city’s democracy movement and drew global criticism. The charges were for holding an unofficial vote in 2020 to choose candidates for a legislative election. Forty-seven pro-democracy activists were arrested and charged in 2021, under Beijing’s national security law. Prosecutors accused the activists of conspiracy to commit subversion.
