In a deeply troubling development, 14 Hong Kong democrats have been found guilty while 2 were acquitted in an unfair trial that lacked a jury and involved judges appointed by the government. This landmark national security case not only undermines citizens' voting rights but also raises serious doubts about the impartiality and fairness of the proceedings. The absence of a jury denies defendants their right to a trial by their peers, further eroding the principles of justice. Upholding democratic values and safeguarding individual rights must remain a top priority. #HongKong#UnfairTrial#NoJury#AppointedJudges#VotingRights#NationalSecurityCase#JusticeUnderThreat https://hongkongfp.com/2024/05/30/breaking-14-hong-kong-democrats-convicted-2-cleared-of-conspiring-to-commit-subversion-in-landmark-national-security-trial/
