    They are trying to grind down any dissent into submission.

    The problem is that the establishment is very good as using the rule of law to undermine the rule of law and using democracy to undermine democracy by ignoring the spirit of these principles.

    The law is supposed to encapsulate the reason why it exists and be in the interest of the people who it covers. It's not supposed to be a tool to selectively shut down people who the establishment doesn't like. This is called Rule by Law and is the reality of the situation we are in now.

    Sentences are long enough that they can squeeze in another conviction for something else before they have a chance to get out...

    The cynical side of me thinks they are doing this to prevent them from fleeing while they trump up other charges.

    Don't think you need to by a cynic, more likely a realist...this administration will still be in power in a year, nothing is going to change.

    Anyone with an ounce of common sense will see them as political prisoners...or maytrs. There might even be international campaigns calling for their release. HK will of course say that is foreign interference and threaten the NSL on any NGO in HK or overseas that dare do so. But that would only further alienate HK from the West, invite more sanctions and further damage the city's reputation.

    Joshua Wong pleads guilty to some random illegal assembly charge to Tiananmen Square anniversary vigil, gets another 10 months. Sorry, lost count at how many months/years he is up to now, probably scouring the videos to see what else they can charge him with...
