14 pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong have been found guilty of violating the city's so-called National Security Law.
The charges stem from their campaign calling for independent elections in the semi-autonomous city.
They are among 47 activists arrested under the law in 2021.
31 pleaded guilty, and are awaiting sentencing. Two were acquitted.

Elaine Pearson is the Asia Director with Human Rights Watch.
She said that the convictions come as no surprise.
