The Hong Kong government has vehemently denounced the misleading and slanderous statements made by foreign entities in response to the court ruling in the subversion case involving the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China. Officials expressed deep disappointment and staunch opposition to the unsubstantiated allegations from various Western countries, anti-China media outlets, groups, and politicians.
A spokesperson clarified that the court's decision clearly highlighted the defendants were tried not due to their political beliefs or convictions. The judge emphasized that the court would solely consider relevant laws and evidence to determine if the prosecution could prove the charge beyond a reasonable doubt.
The public, officials warned, must not be deceived by external forces attempting to smear the case. Instead, they should distinguish between right and wrong and clearly comprehend the difference between this case and the usual scenario regarding the exercise of freedoms of association, assembly, and speech.
