The 'Hong Kong 47' trial concluded with most pro-democracy activists in the dock, with a verdict expected in four months. Only 16 defendants pleaded not guilty to 'conspiracy to commit subversion.' The trial involved figures from former political life and individuals who wanted to participate in the legislative elections. Some defendants were released on bail, and the trial took place under the new National Security Law imposed by Beijing in 2020.
