Hong Kong Convicts Pro-Democracy Editors of Stand News of Sedition

HeadlineAug 29, 2024

A Hong Kong court has convicted two editors of a pro-democracy newspaper of sedition. The landmark verdict against journalists with Stand News was swiftly blasted by press freedom groups. Reporters Without Borders called on Hong Kong authorities to “stop its nefarious campaign against press freedom.” Stand News was one of the last pro-democracy publications in Hong Kong before it was raided by police and forced to shut down in 2021 amid Beijing’s mounting crackdown on Hong Kong’s autonomy.
