#HongKong court convicts former #StandNews editors of #sedition

#HKSeditionTrial #HK #journalism #HongKong

Media Freedom Coalition of 24 national governments expresses deep concern about the CCP & HK government’s continued attacks on #PressFreedom in #HongKong on the 2nd anniversary of the closure of #StandNews. https://www.state.gov/media-freedom-coalition-statement-on-the-second-anniversary-of-the-closure-of-stand-news-and-media-freedom-in-hong-kong/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1740786983306453116#m

Today was supposed to see the verdict in the #StandNews editors' #sedition trial in #HongKong. Instead, the hearing was on a recent UK Privy Council sedition ruling. Now the verdict will wait for Tam Tak-chi sedition appeal verdict, so no date's been set. https://bit.ly/46bUM9r https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1724778834715623553#m

R to @hkdc_us: Likewise, the verdict in the #StandNews #sedition trial's been postponed twice. After postponements, #JimmyLai's sedition/NSL trial scheduled to start Dec 18. HK Alliance/Chow Hang-tung/Lee Cheuk-yan/Albert Ho "conspiracy to incite subversion" trial start still not scheduled. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1722235922518036709#m

The verdict in the #sedition trial of 2 #StandNews editors, scheduled for Nov 15, will be postponed to consider a recent UK Privy Council ruling that intention to incite violence or disorder must be proven to convict of sedition. This is the 2nd postponement of verdict. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1721393382730117601#m

Verdict in marathon #sedition trial of 2 #StandNews editors postponed from Oct 4 to Nov 15. They've already spent over a year on remand; trial lasted 56 days. In all 15 #HongKong journalists've been arrested for sedition; 1 convicted, others still on trial https://hongkongfp.com/2023/09/21/verdict-in-sedition-trial-against-hong-kong-outlet-stand-news-postponed-to-nov-a-year-after-trial-began/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1704830162511008175#m

Judge postpones closing arguments in #sedition trial of 2 former editors of now-defunct #StandNews after lead prosecutor gets COVID. Trial started in Oct, was scheduled to last 20 days; has gone on 53 days due to lengthy prosecution cross-examination. https://hongkongfp.com/2023/06/19/stand-news-sedition-trial-closing-arguments-adjourned-for-a-week-after-hong-kong-prosecutor-gets-covid-19/ https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1670739314534146053#m

R to @hkdc_us: HK Public Libraries' #BookCensorship has lead to this project: The "HK DeCentral Library" aims to digitally preserve all HK-related books & periodicals. #HongKong citizens undertook similar archival efforts when #AppleDaily & #StandNews were shut down. [...]

On #WorldPressFreedomDay, we remember all imprisoned & prosecuted #HongKong journalists, including #JimmyLai & his #AppleDaily colleagues & #PatrickLam & #ChungPuiKuen of #StandNews. True HK heroes all. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1653761313951154176#m

R to @hkdc_us: In fact, between the half-dozen new diaspora-based media outlets & persistent brave journalists in #HongKong, for those who know where to look, coverage of HK is rebounding after the government-forced closures of major news sources #AppleDaily #StandNews & #CitizenNews. https://nitter.hongkongers.net/hkdc_us/status/1650862392933498880#m

#HongKong 🇭🇰 : RSF relieved that following the release of Patrick Lam last month, second #StandNews chief editor Chung Pui-Kuen, was released on bail today almost a year after his arrest for alleged sedition. RSF calls on the #HongKong government to drop all charges against them.
