Hong Kong court convicts Tiananmen activists on national security charges

An activist group has accused Hong Kong’s judicial system of pre‑determining the guilt of two defendants, describing the process as “twisted.” The organization alleges that the courts had already decided the pair were guilty before their trial began, raising concerns about the fairness and independence of the legal proceedings.

The group’s statement comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Hong Kong’s legal framework, which critics say has become increasingly opaque and subject to political influence. While officials have not responded to the allegations, the claim adds to broader international debate over the rule of law in the territory and the treatment of individuals facing charges under its courts.
