A Hong Kong court today convicted 14 pro-democracy activists of “conspiracy to subvert state power.” It acquitted two defendants. Emily Lau, the former chairperson of the Hong Kong Democratic Party, was inside the courthouse when the verdict came down. Lau tells The World’s host Carolyn Beeler those found guilty face sentences ranging from three years to life in prison.
