All 47 Hong Kong activists kept in custody after bail hearing

Fifteen of the defendants had been granted bail but are still being held pending an appeal

A judge in Hong Kong has kept 47 pro-democracy activists charged under the city's draconian national security law in custody after a marathon four-day hearing derided as chaotic and farcical.

Thirty-two defendants were denied bail by the chief magistrate, Victor So, while 15 were granted bail but still kept in custody after government prosecutors said they would appeal against that decision.
