Landmark Hong Kong national security trial starts 2 years after arrests
Prosecutors have described the primary election - held to select the strongest candidates to contest an upcoming legislative election - as a "vicious plot" to subvert the government and to wreak "mutual destruction" on the city by taking control of the city's parliament.
"This trial is not simply a trial against the 47 opposition leaders but also a trial for the population who has been supporting the pro-democracy movement for decades," Eric Lai, a fellow at Georgetown Center for Asian Law in Washington, told Reuters. "The actual people who need to go on trial are absolutely not us," Chow wrote on his Facebook page in September. "We're not guilty at all."
