A Hong Kong court on Dec. 30 denied bail to two former senior editors from Stand News charged with conspiracy to publish “seditious” material. They were among seven arrested a day earlier in a police crackdown on their pro-democracy media outlet that drew international condemnation.
Chung Pui-kuen, the outlet’s former chief editor, was the only defendant who appeared in the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Court Thursday.
