VOICED : Nueve activistas prodemocracia de Hong Kong declarados culpables por manifestación de 2019

Nine veteran activists in Hong Kong were found guilty for organizing a pro-democracy protest in 2019, facing up to five years in prison. These respected figures have long advocated for universal suffrage. Sentencing is set for April 16. The protest on August 18, 2019, was one of the largest in a series of demonstrations. The movement's momentum waned in early 2020 due to COVID-19 restrictions, mass arrests, and protester fatigue. The Chinese government imposed a strict national security law and reformed the local electoral system, effectively sidelining the opposition.
