PoliticsMacao court jails pro-democracy former politician for 12½ years

A Macao court sentenced former politician Au Kam-san to 12 years and six months in prison after a closed-door national security trial. He was convicted of subversion and spreading false information to disrupt the 2024 leadership election. His wife called the case a political trial and groundless persecution; Macao’s government and China’s Hong Kong and Macao Affairs office backed the sentence.
