The ITUC has denounced the guilty verdict against trade union leader Lee Cheuk-yan and activists Chow Hang-tung and Albert Ho on charges of inciting subversion under Hong Kong’s National Security Law.

🗣️ "This judgement is another deeply disturbing blow to fundamental freedoms in Hong Kong. Lee Cheuk-yan has devoted his life to defending workers, democracy, and fundamental rights.
