The national security trial against the Hong Kong Alliance is yet another attempt by Beijing to rewrite the truth about the #TiananmenMassacre. Chinese officials responsible for the killing of unarmed protesters should be put on trial — not those seeking accountability for these crimes.

Activist Jimmy Lai veroordeeld in Hongkong: ‘Gerechtelijke farce’
Na vijf jaar in voorlopige hechtenis heeft Hongkong de prominente activist Jimmy Lai veroordeeld voor samenzwering met buitenlandse krachten. Vanochtend kreeg de 78jarige Lai te horen dat hij naar alle waarschijnlijkheid de rest van zijn leven vast zal zitten. De officile strafmaat wordt later bepaald. Mensenrechtenorganisaties spreken van een showproces.
