Hong Kong’s Cardinal Zen arrives at court for protest fund trial


Hong Kong (AFP) – The retired 90-year-old Hong Kong cardinal Joseph Zen arrives at court where he will go on trial alongside four fellow democracy supporters for their role in running a fund to help defend people arrested in anti-government protests. Cardinal Zen, one of Asia’s highest-ranking Catholic clerics, was originally detained earlier this year under a national security law that Beijing imposed on Hong Kong to quell dissent.
