Retired cardinal Zen, singer Denise Ho, in Hong Kong court over national security law charges

Ninety-year-old retired Catholic cardinal Joseph Zen appeared in a Hong Kong court on May 24, 2022, charged with failing to properly register a protest defence fund. This, after he was initially arrested under the city's national security law. Zen, one of Asia's highest-ranking Catholic clerics, was among five prominent democracy advocates, along with activist and singer Denise Ho and veteran human rights barrister Margaret Ng, who were detained earlier this month.
