BREAKING NEWS

A Hong Kong protester was convicted of terrorism and inciting secession in the first trial under a tough security law Beijing imposed a year ago.
Tuesday, July 27, 2021 3:21 AM EST

The verdict is a sign that the city’s traditionally independent courts will strictly enforce new limits on dissent.

The protester, Tong Ying-kit, was arrested on July 1, 2020, after he drove his motorcycle around a Hong Kong neighborhood with a protest banner, then collided with police officers who tried to stop him, injuring three. Mr. Tong could be sentenced to life in prison.


Do something positive.
