💨 Abstract

In a landmark national security trial, Hong Kong's High Court sentenced 45 pro-democracy activists to jail terms of up to 10 years. The activists were charged with conspiracy to commit subversion for organizing an unofficial primary election in 2020. The charges relate to planning to potentially disrupt the government had they been elected. The trial has been criticized as politically motivated, drawing international condemnation.
