Hong Kong convicts 14 democracy activists in biggest national security case | BBC News

A Hong Kong court has found 14 democracy activists guilty of subversion and acquitted two in the biggest national security case. They are among 47 who were charged in 2021 with trying to “overthrow” the government by organising an unofficial election. Their arrest marked the biggest crackdown under the National Security Law imposed by China in 2020. Beijing says the law is essential for Hong Kong’s stability but rights groups say it has crushed civil liberties and created a climate of fear.
