Opposition activists have expressed condemnation towards a Shenzhen court for its ruling over eight defendants for up to three years’ imprisonment on December 30, 2020. The defendants found guilty of illegal border crossing were given seven months, while the two organisers of the crime will stay behind bars for up to three years. Activists say the fugitives had been reluctant to mention their experiences in China at the Yantian People’s Court, where they had their trial hearing.
