Hong Kong Convicts 6 Pro-Democracy Activists over Protest Fund
--------------------------------------------------------------

In Hong Kong, six high-profile pro-democracy advocates, including the
90-year-old Bishop Joseph Zen, were found guilty Friday for failing to
register a fund that helped people arrested during mass protests in
2019. The defendants will be fined up to around $500 each. Observers say
the case is meant to further deter pro-democracy organizing in Hong
Kong.
