Hong Kong court hears final arguments in the trial of Tiananmen vigil organizers
A Hong Kong court is hearing the final arguments in the national security trial for two former leaders of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China.
The trial, initially scheduled to last 75 days, is expected to end earlier.
But the judges have not yet indicated when a verdict could be delivered.
Amnesty International’s Deputy Regional Director Sarah Brooks said in a statement that the prosecutors’ case relied on “vague, overly broad and arbitrary definitions of ‘subversion,’” calling on the charges against Chow and Lee to be dropped.
