Two former editors of the now-defunct Stand News in Hong Kong have been sentenced to 21 months in prison for conspiring to publish seditious articles, with one being given immediate release because he suffered from a rare disease. The District Court judge handed down the sentences on September 26, 2024, almost a month after the journalists were found guilty. The landmark case was the first involving media professionals being charged under a colonial-era sedition law since Hong Kong’s return to Chinese rule in 1997.
