Relatives of the 12 activists plea for information on the captives at a press conference in Hong Kong on Saturday.
The group was caught by the coastguard some 70km southeast of the city on Aug 23, authorities said previously, before being handed to police in the mainland metropolis of Shenzhen. The activists – whose arrests were formally approved in September – had disappeared into China’s opaque judicial system since their capture, with lawyers struggling for access and family members expressing fear over their fate.
Lu Siwei, a mainland Chinese lawyer working on the case, told AFP the court was expected to hand down a verdict on the case within two to three months.
