a scene of protest. especially since the imposition of the national security law and the charges you know that these individuals are facing are conspiracy to commit subversion how serious is this and what is the potential punishment for it. what their fans under the new sweeping national security law could mean life imprisonment maximum so is a really heavy census that could possibly facing all of the 47 opposition figures here now in the courtroom so they're facing the charges they're all accused all conspiracy to commit some 1st because of their participation in an unofficial prime we held last july which was set to choose the opposition candidates both legislative elections for the government accuse them of an attempt overflowing the government are paralyzed the government because some can that this won't. expected
