Eleven pro-democracy activists imprisoned in the "Hong Kong 47" case have been granted the right to appeal to the city’s highest court. The activists were previously convicted of conspiracy to commit subversion under the national security law, in what was the largest case of its kind. This decision by the Court of Appeal marks a significant development in the high-profile case. It offers a potential pathway for legal challenge to the convictions and sentences handed down. The case revolves around a 2020 primary election held by pro-democracy figures to select candidates for a planned legislative election. Authorities subsequently intervened, alleging the primary was part of a plot to subvert the government. Details regarding the grounds for appeal and the top court’s proceedings are yet to be announced.
