TL;DR Summary

More than a dozen leading democracy figures in Hong Kong were convicted of subversion charges in the "Hong Kong 47" trial, marking the largest national security trial since Beijing's crackdown. The activists were found guilty of conspiracy to commit subversion for organizing an unofficial primary election in 2020. The trial, which saw 47 defendants, highlights the significant impact of the national security law on Hong Kong's political landscape, with most pro-democracy figures now in jail or exile. The verdicts have been condemned by human rights groups as a suppression of peaceful activism.
