A Hong Kong court found two former editors of the now-defunct Stand News guilty of “sedition” on Thursday for their coverage of the pro-democracy uprising in 2019.
In late December 2021, a swarm of Hong Kong police descended upon the offices of Stand News, seizing its computers and arresting staffers. Inspired by Chung’s example, one reporter kept banging away at his final article until the police pulled his headphones off. The judge in the case, Kwok Wai-kin, thought it was astonishing that “many citizens opposed the Hong Kong government and central government” in 2019 and ruled as though those people had been tricked into committing “illegal” acts by the likes of Stand News.
