Macau has held its first-ever national security trial behind closed doorsâa step not yet taken in Hong Kongâs major national security trials.
On 16 September, veteran pro-democracy lawmaker Au Kam San, 69, was tried in complete secrecy. The proceedings concluded in just three days, with no public scrutiny of the evidence or legal arguments. He faces up to 25 years in prison.
