The Hong Kong court's conviction of Chung Pui-kuen and Patrick Lam for sedition represents a landmark case, deepening concerns over press freedom in the territory.
Prosecutors cited 17 articles as evidence, claiming they promoted sedition against authorities, which highlights the tension between press freedom and government control.
This case marks the first time a media outlet has faced sedition charges since Hong Kong's return to Chinese sovereignty, signaling a grim future for journalism.
Critics, including a U.S. consulate spokesperson, argued that the ruling is a direct attack on media freedom, emphasizing that 'journalism is not a crime'.
