A court in the Chinese territory of Macao sentenced ex-lawmaker and democracy campaigner Au Kam San to 12 years and six months in prison on Friday for subversion and other offenses.

Au, 69, is the first person convicted under national security laws widened in 2023 in Macao, the former Portuguese colony and casino hub which reverted to China in 1999.

He co-organized annual vigils for victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown in Beijing, something previously tolerated only in Macao and neighboring Hong Kong.
