The US has condemned the convictions of 14 pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong under a Beijing-imposed national security law, calling for their release and announcing new visa restrictions on Chinese and Hong Kong officials. The verdicts, part of the city's largest national security case, have effectively eradicated political opposition in Hong Kong, with most activists either imprisoned or in exile.

The US and EU have condemned a police raid on the headquarters of Guatemalan presidential candidate Bernardo Arevalo's center-left Semilla party, just a month before the high-stakes run-off election. The raid was carried out based on a court order that had canceled the party's legal status. Arevalo called it a "corrupt" show of political persecution, while the US described it as "authoritarian practices" and a violation of democratic norms. The raid follows an investigation into alleged irregularities in the registration of Semilla members, which has been criticized as improper interference. The US and EU are closely monitoring the situation and will host talks with the candidates to show support for free and fair elections.
