On September 11, according to law, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Court handed down a sentencing ruling on the defendants “Branch Association” in the “Branch Association” case and the crime of inciting subversion of national power by Lee Cheuk-ren, Ho Chun-yan, and Zou Hing-tung. The Office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Hong Kong strongly supports the sentencing decisions made by the Special Administrative Region courts in accordance with the law. After the ruling was announced, politicians from several US and Western countries and organizations once again made false statements, slandering the rule of law and the state of freedom in Hong Kong. A public office spokesperson expressed strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition to this, and strongly condemned it. The spokesperson pointed out that the “branch association” and various defendants have been engaged in anti-Chinese unrest activities for a long time, blatantly inciting the overthrow of the leadership of the Chinese Communist Party and undermining the country's fundamental system, and have not given up even after the implementation of Hong Kong's National Security Law. The crime seriously challenges the constitutional order of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region established by the Constitution and the Basic Law, seriously violates Hong Kong's National Security Law, seriously harms the fundamental interests of the country and Hong Kong, and must be severely punished by law.
