💨 Abstract

The High Court of Hong Kong sentenced 45 leading democrats to jail terms of up to 10 years, a move criticized as a blow to the city's rule of law. Commentators, including the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China, Australian Foreign Minister Penny Wong, and the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China, denounced the convictions as political persecution.
