Case of the 47 democrats update: Lau Wing-hong & Wong Pak-yu's hearing

Lau Wing-hong and Wong Pak-yu, who planned to plead guilty, attended their hearings on 8 Oct 2022.

Lau stated that since his legal aid application was cancelled, he had to represent himself. He requested a Chinese hearing since "we are all Chinese" and this "shows the spirit of national security", yet his request was denied by the judge.

When discussing their sentences, both Lau and Wong wished to be sentenced before the hearing.
