What the coverage says
Pro-democracy former lawmaker Au Kam San has received a prison sentence of twelve and a half years in Macao's first national security trial. DW and BBC report that the conviction was for "subversion against the political power of the State," while Al Jazeera adds that the court also found him guilty of spreading false information in a bid to disrupt the 2024 elections. NPR notes that the politician's arrest last year marked the first publicly known prosecution under the city's national security law since its 2009 enactment.
