Hong Kong activists sentenced for inciting subversion under national security law

In Hong Kong, three activists were sentenced on September 11, 2026, for inciting subversion under a national security law. Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung received seven years and three months, while Albert Ho was sentenced to five years after pleading guilty.
