The ITUC has denounced the guilty verdict against trade union leader Lee Cheuk-yan and activists Chow Hang-tung and Albert Ho on charges of inciting subversion under Hong Kong’s National Security Law.

🗣️ "This judgement is another deeply disturbing blow to fundamental freedoms in Hong Kong. Lee Cheuk-yan has devoted his life to defending workers, democracy, and fundamental rights. Peaceful advocacy for democratic reform and the exercise of freedom of expression must not be treated as threats to national security.” Luc Triangle, ITUC General Secretary
