HK47: dozens of pro-democracy activists jailed in Hong Kong’s largest national security trial

Members of Hong Kong 47' - charged in 2021 over involvement in pre-election primary - sentenced to between four and 10 years

• Activists, professors, legislators: who are the Hong Kong 47?

Dozens of Hong Kong's most prominent pro-democracy figures have been jailed - one for 10 years - in the territory's largest national security trial, after a prosecution that has been widely criticised as politically motivated.

Those jailed are among 47 people, known as the Hong Kong 47", who were charged in 2021 under the punitive national security law (NSL) with conspiracy to commit subversion over their involvement in pre-election primaries held in 2020 before the Hong Kong general election. Most have already spent more than three years in jail, but none were released on Tuesday.
