Sentence of the first state security case in Macau is delivered in open court

The sentencing of Au Kam San, the first defendant in Macau's national security case, will be held publicly after a closed trial. He faces charges of subversion and collusion with foreign forces. The trial was conducted behind closed doors to protect state security interests, following recent legislative changes. The EU has criticized the erosion of fundamental rights in Macau, while the local government rejected these claims, asserting stable economic development and democratic progress.
