The guilty verdicts of 14 pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong have drawn condemnation from Western governments, who criticize the use of China's national security law to stifle opposition. The US plans to impose new visa restrictions on Chinese and Hong Kong officials responsible for implementing the law. The UN High Commissioner for Human Rights calls for the repeal of the national security law and the release of arbitrarily detained individuals. Meanwhile, Hong Kong authorities have arrested six people, including a prominent human rights lawyer, for posting 'seditious' messages on social media. The World Uyghur Congress condemns the sentencing and calls for the release of the activists. In an opinion piece, it is argued that Hong Kong must move on from the events of 2019 and present itself as a vibrant and open city. #HongKong #NationalSecurityLaw #HumanRights #Democracy...
