Activists face prison time for their actions. A national security law imposed by Beijing led to their convictions for inciting subversion. The maximum sentence they could receive is 10 years in prison.

Their convictions are part of a larger trend. Authorities have reduced public choice in elections and targeted leaders of news outlets. Many activists have been imprisoned under the security law.

Further details about the case and its implications are available from the source. The sentencing of these activists is seen as significant, but the full context and potential consequences are not fully described here.
