Hong Kong court convicts 14 pro-democracy activists, but acquits 2 in subversion trial

A Correctional Services Department bus arrives outside a Hong Kong court on Thursday. The court on Thursday convicted 14 pro-democracy activists in the city’s biggest national security case under a law imposed by Beijing that has all but wiped out public dissent.

Fourteen Hong Kong pro-democracy activists were found guilty and two were acquitted on Thursday in a landmark subversion trial that critics say could deal another blow to the city’s rule of law and its reputation as a global financial hub.
