Hong Kong journalists found guilty of sedition in case critics view as setback for press freedom

A Hong Kong court convicted two former news editors of a shuttered media site on Thursday for publishing seditious content, which critics regard as a setback to press freedom.

The Associated Press reported that the sedition case is the first involving members of the press in Hong Kong since 1997, when it returned to Chinese rule.
