Description
Taiwan lawmker Puma Shen says politicians on the self-ruled island should pay attention to Hong Kong following the sentencing of dozens of democracy campaigners in the city.
"What’s happening in Hong Kong now is exactly what Taiwan will face in the future," Shen said in an interview with AFP. "The level of awareness and vigilance regarding this issue... is far from sufficient."
A Hong Kong court on Tuesday jailed all 45 defendants convicted in the city's largest trial under its sweeping national security law, with "mastermind" Benny Tai receiving the longest term of 10 years. SOUNDBITES
