Daughter fears that Macau activist Au Kam San will die in prison after conviction

Au Kam San, a pro-democracy activist from Macau, has been sentenced to 12 years and six months in prison, raising concerns about his health and safety. His daughter, Cherry Au, fears he may die in prison due to his age. The family has struggled to communicate with him since his arrest in July 2025. They hope to gain permission for regular visits, while Cherry expresses disbelief over the court's handling of the case and the lack of legal representation. Public sentiment in Macau appears mixed, with some residents expressing outrage over the sentencing. Cherry warns that this could signal a troubling trend for dissenters in the region.
