2 Hong Kong journalists await sedition trial verdict, testing press freedom in Hong Kong.
Two Hong Kong journalists, former editors-in-chief of the now-shuttered Stand News online outlet, await the verdict of their sedition trial, which is considered a significant test of press freedom and freedom of expression in the semi-autonomous city.
The trial, which began almost two years ago, is Hong Kong's first sedition case involving media since its return to Chinese rule in 1997.
Stand News was one of the last remaining openly critical media outlets in Hong Kong before it was forced to close down.
The journalists were charged with conspiracy to publish seditious materials under a colonial-era law that has been increasingly used to target dissent following the 2019 anti-government protests.
