The 10 Hong Kong activists who went on trial in Shenzhen China on Monday cannot appoint their own lawyers, will not get a fair and open trial, and should be released forthwith, the European Union’s diplomatic service has stated.
The 10 are part of a group of 12 Hong Kong freedom activists between the ages of 16 and 33 who, while en-route to the self-ruled island of Taiwan to seek political asylum in August, were captured in the South China sea by Chinese authorities.
