Hong Kong national security trial of three pro-democracy activists to open
AI Summary
The national security trial of Hong Kong pro-democracy activists Chow Hang-tung, Lee Cheuk-yan, and Albert Ho is set to begin Thursday. They are charged with inciting subversion under Hong Kong's national security law for organizing annual Tiananmen Square massacre memorials. The three were key members of the Hong Kong Alliance, which held the only mass memorial for the massacre on Chinese territory until the vigil was banned in 2020. The defendants face up to 10 years in prison if convicted under the national security law, which has a high conviction rate. The Hong Kong Alliance disbanded in 2021 under increasing pressure from authorities.
