R to @hkdc_us: Essentially, the whole concept of political opposition, & therefore of democracy, is on trial, labelled as "subversion." #HK47 supporter Granny Wong was outside the courthouse with her sign #Free47 #FreeAll. All freedom-loving #HongKongers stand in solidarity with the defendants. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1729696842206646682#m

R to @hkdc_us: The #HK47 trial is the biggest of the more than 3,000 political trials in #HongKong so far. The 47 are accused of "conspiracy to commit subversion" under the "national security law" for taking part in a pro-democracy primary. The maximum penalty is life in prison. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1729696836800090269#m

Other things that come to mind when taking a stroll down KOTOR memory lane:
Darth Malak was the Original Meatbag
