NEWS STAND is a special issue of Hong Kong’s Stand News. Featuring selections of reporting and photography on Hong Kong's 2019 social movement, NEWS STAND presents readers with a first-hand account of Hong Kong’s history.
Established on December 30, 2014, Stand News ceased operations on December 29, 2021, after Hong Kong’s National Security Police raided the publication’s headquarters.
The Hong Kong Police charged Stand News, along with its top editors and board members, with “conspiracy to publish seditious publications” under sections 9 and 10 of the Crimes Ordinance for publishing a number of seditious articles. The preface of NEWS STAND was also used by the prosecution as evidence in court.
On December 30, 2021, former Editor-in-Chief Chung Pui-kuen and former Acting Editor-in-Chief Patrick Lam Shiu-tung were refused bail and remanded in custody.
The trial against Stand News began in October 2022 and lasted 57 days, with the verdict adjourned three times, resulting in a judgment on August 29, 2024, a span of 33 months from indictment to verdict.
Judge Kwok Wai-kin found Chung, Lam, and Stand News’ parent company guilty of criminal intent, finding that the political philosophy of Stand News was nativist and that it was “intended to incite hatred of the Chinese central government or the Hong Kong government and hatred of the judiciary.” Of the 17 articles presented by the prosecution, 11 were found by the judge to have inciting intent; Chung and Lam were respectively sentenced to 21 months and 11 months in prison.
