UK-based lawyers for Hong Kong activist Jimmy Lai targeted by Chinese state (www.theguardian.com)
 

Short summary: Jimmy Lai is still in prison (under Hong Kong's notorious "national security law", implemented during the Chinese takeover of the city) and his lawyers are being actively hacked and threatened. The intensity of attacks synchronizes well with case developments, so whoever does that must have a clear overview of legal proceedings. A logical option would be Chinese state-backed hackers.

Excerpts from the article:

"the Visegrád 24 media outlet reported that the Danish Navy vessel Y311 Søløven intercepted the Yi Peng 3, which has since been stopped for inspection."

"The ship’s captain is reportedly a Russian citizen."

"Data from the website MarineTraffic indicates that the vessel’s route and timing align with the locations of the cable damage, which occurred on November 17 and 18. The affected cables connect Sweden to Lithuania and Finland to Germany and play a critical role in regional internet traffic."

Short excerpts from article:

"Of the 47, 31 had pleaded guilty, and two were acquitted at trial. Most have spent more than three years in jail already. Those who pleaded not guilty were given harsher sentences."

"The activists had been arrested in 2021 under the city’s national security law (NSL) for their participation in an unofficial primary election that was held in July 2020, weeks after the NSL had been imposed by Beijing in response to months of pro-democracy protests. More than 600,000 people participated in the unofficial vote."

"The trial was overseen by three government-picked judges without a jury – one of the many provisions of the NSL that critics have described as punitive and antithetical to the rule of law in Hong Kong."
