Hong Kong outlet Stand News and editors found guilty of sedition

Chung Pui-kuen, the former chief editor of Hong Kong's now shuttered pro-democracy news outlet Stand News, arrives at the Wanchai District Court ahead of a verdict in a landmark sedition trial in Hong Kong on Aug. 29, 2024.

Hong Kong pro-democracy news outlet Stand News and its two former chief editors were found guilty of sedition Thursday, the first conviction of its kind since the city came under Chinese rule in 1997.
