Hong Kong's Jimmy Lai, 6 Others, Found Guilty For Roles In Pro-Democracy Protests

Former lawmaker Cyd Ho (left) and pro-democracy activist Lee Cheuk-yan (center) gesture a protest slogan, "Five demands, not one less," as they leave West Kowloon court in Hong Kong on Thursday after being found guilty of organizing an unauthorized assembly.

The convictions come amid a crackdown on dissent in Hong Kong and just days after Chinese officials approved a major overhaul of the territory's electoral system that tightens Beijing's control.
