HONG KONG -- A Hong Kong activist was convicted Wednesday on a string of charges linked to pro-democracy street protests two years ago, in a ruling that critics say deals another blow to the city's rapidly declining freedom of expression.
Hong Kong's district court found Tam Tak-chi, 49, guilty of uttering "seditious words," including now-outlawed protest chants, as well as holding unauthorized assembly and disobeying police orders during demonstrations in 2020 against a Beijing-imposed national security law.
