> Former Macau pro-democracy legislator Au Kam-san was sentenced by a Macau court on Nov. 6 to 12 years and six months in prison on charges including subversion of state power. Portuguese lawyer Jorge Menezes, who practices in Macau, criticized the court for not making specific evidence public and said the case was intended to warn residents that challenging the authorities or criticizing Beijing could bring similar consequences.
