Hong Kong activist Ng Kin-wai, one of 47 arrested for participating in an unofficial poll for the 2020 legislative council election, defended his actions during a landmark national security trial. Ng, who admitted no remorse for alleged subversion, is one of the convicted defendants facing sentences ranging from 3 years to life. He believes in a free, equal, and inclusive society and did not know vetoing the budget was illegal until his arrest.
