TAIPEI, Taiwan — Three Hong Kong activists have been convicted after they refused to provide information to authorities required by national security policy. They had been arrested in 2021 during a crackdown on Hong Kong's civil society sector following the passage of a wide-ranging national security law.
The three activists now face up to six months in prison and a fine of nearly $13,000. They said they didn't cooperate with the policy because they believed the state had arbitrarily designated them foreign agents without providing evidence.
