The People’s Republic of China continues its campaign to dismantle democracy and human rights in Hong Kong, and pro-democracy advocates continue to suffer for their support of fundamental freedoms.
On April 1, seven of Hong Kong’s leading pro-democracy activists were convicted of unauthorized assembly for their participation in a peaceful protest in August 2019. Among them are 82 year old barrister Martin Lee and media mogul Jimmy Lai. Other peaceful protestors include former opposition lawmaker Margaret Ng and veteran activists Lee Cheuk-yan, Leung-Kwok, Albert Ho, and Cyd Ho.
