Benny Tai has been sentenced to 10 years in a significant ruling, symbolizing a crackdown on pro-democracy movements in Hong Kong under national security laws.
The lengthy sentences were handed down as part of the largest national security case in Hong Kong, involving a conspiracy to subvert the government.
The court's decision illustrates the severe consequences faced by pro-democracy activists, with many remaining in remand since their initial charges in 2021.
Under the national security laws, participating in protests or organized elections can lead to harsh penalties, including life imprisonment for primary offenders.
