The Hong Kong court twisted logic and law to imprison opposition figures and strip away citizens' voting rights. They exploited the broad definitions of the national security law, labeling peaceful actions as subversion. The court equated legislative activities with unlawful conspiracy, undermining democracy. They ignored the defense's argument and extended "unlawful means" to non-criminal acts. This sets a dangerous precedent, allowing the government to criminalize dissent. The trial unjustly imprisoned individuals and eroded voting rights, undermining democracy. This highlights the erosion of Hong Kong's autonomy and the need for international support. #HongKong #PoliticalRepression #TwistedLogic #StrippedRights #VotingRights #RuleOfLaw
