Hong Kong defendants taken away by ambulance during marathon bail hearing

At least four people charged with national security offences taken to hospital after long court delays

A bail hearing for 47 campaigners, election candidates and activists charged with national security offences in Hong Kong has resumed after at least four defendants were taken away by ambulance during Monday's marathon session, which lasted until 3am.

The group have been charged under Hong Kong's national security law with conspiracy to commit subversion in relation to an unofficial pan-democratic primary poll held last year before legislative elections that were later postponed.
