Apparently “patriots only” ruling HK wasn’t enough. No extra points for guessing the next stage

#HongKong Prof. Benny Tai is sentenced to 10 years in jail for organizing a primary election for the pro-democracy camp. 44 opposition figures are sentenced from around 4 yrs to 8 yrs. They simply did something very normal in democratic society. They should be free.
