Hong Kong convicts activists in national security trial

Hong Kong’s courts have found two pro-democracy activists guilty of inciting subversion, marking a major ruling under the city’s national security law. The two, linked to the Tiananmen Square memorial movement, were convicted after a high-profile trial that drew international criticism. Rights groups say the case highlights growing restrictions on free expression in the territory. The defendants now face sentencing, with legal experts noting the law carries severe penalties for such convictions. The ruling is expected to deepen concerns over the shrinking space for political dissent in Hong Kong.
