Hong Kong Sedition Law

Hong Kong pro-democracy news outlet Stand News and its two former chief editors were found guilty of sedition on Thursday, the first conviction of its kind since the city came under Chinese rule in 1997.

Jailed pro-democracy tycoon Jimmy Lai pleaded not guilty in a Hong Kong court to "sedition" and "collusion" charges on Tuesday, as his trial under a national security law continued into the new year.

Hong Kong jailed five speech therapists for sedition on Saturday over a series of illustrated children's books that portrayed the city's democracy supporters as sheep defending their village from wolves.

The Hong Kong government is expanding its use of a long-dormant sedition law in what some lawyers and democracy advocates say is intensifying a squeeze on press freedom.

A pro-democracy Hong Kong DJ went on trial Thursday for sedition in the first use of the colonial-era law since the city's handover to China as authorities broaden their criminalisation of dissent.
