What happened to Hong Kong鈥檚 pro-democracy protesters?

The story of Hong Kong鈥檚 protest leaders since the national security law.

Forty-seven of Hong Kong鈥檚 pro-democracy campaigners have been in jail for more than a thousand days since the government鈥檚 crackdown on the movement in 2019. Ahead of their verdict, we examine whether there is still room to protest in Hong Kong, how the national security law has affected the region and what it could mean for Taiwan. We delve into the story with the 成人快手鈥檚 Asia Pacific editor Celia Hatton, and our Hong Kong-based correspondent Danny Vincent.
