" Hong Kong 47 " were arrested in 2021 after holding an unofficial election primary that aimed to improve pro-democracy parties' chances of winning a majority in the city's legislature.
Beijing imposed a sweeping national security law on the financial hub in 2020 , snuffing out months of massive, sometimes violent protests.
Western countries and international rights groups have condemned the trial as evidence of Hong Kong's increased authoritarianism.
Two of the 47 were acquitted in May , but on Tuesday , the rest will learn their sentences.
