Hong Kong resumes court hearing for 47 democracy activists
Posted on 2021-03-02 17:05:04
A court hearing for 47 democracy activists charged under Hong Kong's national
security law has resumed today.

It follows a marathon session that was adjourned well past midnight, after
one defendant appeared to collapse and was taken away in an ambulance.

The 47 activists, who include prominent leaders such as Joshua Wong and Benny
Tai, were among 55 arrested in January, on suspicion of subversion in what
was by far the biggest sweep by police since the security law's enactment.

The court is weighing whether to grant bail to the activists, who were
detained and charged on Sunday, over their involvement in an unofficial
primary election last year.

Authorities have accused the primary election of being part of a plot to
paralyze Hong Kong's government.

Nearly 100 people have been arrested under the national security law so far,
and serious offenders could face life imprisonment.
