Posted on 2024-11-20 07:01:13
The Presidential Office is slamming a mass trial in Hong Kong, where 45 former politicians and activists were given prison sentences in a national security case.
Presidential Office spokeswoman Karen Kuo says the imprisonment of the 45 campaigners from four to 10 years was a "severe violation of the Hong Kong people's pursuit of freedom and democracy."
Kuo said the government "strongly condemns" Beijing for its use of the judiciary to curtail the "political participation and freedom of speech" of pro-democracy campaigners in Hong Kong ..
... and the move further demonstrates the "one country, two systems" political arrangement imposed on Hong Kong was "unfeasible."
We'll have more on this story later on in the broadcast.
