HONG KONG -- Dozens of leading pro-democracy politicians and activists in Hong Kong were sent to jail on Thursday after being denied bail over a subversion charge under the national security law, ending a four-day marathon hearing that marks the largest political crackdown by far in the city.
A total of 32 defendants were denied bail on grounds that they are likely to continue to commit acts endangering national security, the West Kowloon Magistracy ruled Thursday evening.
