Hong Kong protests: Two former top editors of now-closed Stand News website lose bid to terminate trial

​Two former top editors of the now-closed Stand News website in Hong Kong have lost a bid for the termination of their sedition trial.

Judge Kwok Wai-kin, who was approved by the city’s leader to oversee the case, ruled on Thursday that a fair trial was still possible for the defendants even though prosecutors failed to hand over to the defence the entirety of evidence gathered during the investigation.
