Hong Kong pro-democracy media tycoon Jimmy Lai has been sentenced to 14
months in prison after being found guilty of unauthorised assembly.
Mr Lai, 73, was one of several activists in court who were earlier found
guilty of charges relating to pro-democracy protests in 2019.
The founder of the Apple Daily tabloid is a fierce critic of Beijing.
Friday's verdict comes as the mainland is increasingly cracking down on
Hong Kong's rights and freedoms.
Several other activists were sentenced on Friday for participating in
two demonstrations, on 18 August and 31 August 2019.
They include veteran campaigner Martin Lee, 82, and lawyer Margaret Ng,
73, whose sentences were suspended.
