Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement suffered a heavy blow on Thursday after seven prominent veteran activists were convicted over a massive anti-government rally in 2019.
A court has found them guilty of organizing and taking part in an unauthorized assembly, including media tycoon Jimmy Lai (slide 2) and 82-year-old barrister Martin Lee (slide 3), often referred to as Hong Kong's "father of democracy."
All seven had pleaded not guilty but now face time in prison.
Martin Lee helped launch the former British colony's largest opposition Democratic Party in the 1990s. He could be jailed for 12-18 months, according to some legal experts.
Media entrepreneur Lai was arrested in August after some 200 police officers raided the newsroom of his Apple Daily tabloid. He has already been charged on suspicion of colluding with foreign powers and endangering national security.
Two more activists, Au Nok-hin and Leung Yiu-chung, had previously pleaded guilty and are now facing up to five years in jail.
