HONG KONG (AP) — Hong Kong has convicted 14 pro-democracy activists for subversion in the city's largest national security case. The verdict marks a significant development in the ongoing crackdown on dissent in the semi-autonomous Chinese territory.
The activists were found guilty of organizing and participating in an unauthorized assembly on October 1, 2019, which coincided with China's National Day. The event escalated into violent clashes between protesters and police, leading to widespread unrest in the city.
