Hong Kong Activists in Landmark Security Trial Express Defiance

Ng Kin-wai and Leung Kwok-hung reject remorse in court, facing potential life sentences under Beijing-imposed law.

Ng Kin-wai, defending himself, stated he would not apologize for his pro-democracy beliefs.
Leung Kwok-hung emphasized his lifelong commitment to human rights and democracy.
Both activists were part of the 47 arrested for participating in an unofficial primary election in 2020.
The national security law, enacted in 2020, carries sentences ranging from three years to life.
Judges noted that Ng's lack of remorse would result in a significantly reduced sentencing concession.
