Hong Kong court convicts 14 pro-democracy activists

Hong Kong activist Chan Po-ying became one of the city's only pro-democracy voices after her prominent husband's arrest in 2021, refusing to give up the struggle they had waged together for decades. Her husband Leung Kwok-hung, better known by his nickname “Long Hair”, was among the 47 people charged with subversion in the largest case under a national security law imposed by China to cull the city’s protest movement. He, along with 13 others, had insisted they were innocent but were convicted on Thursday. "Long Hair is still here so I of course must hang in there," Chan told AFP in a series of interviews in the months leading up to the verdict.
