Group has not been put on trial yet but China’s court system has a conviction rate of about 99%
Chinese authorities have formally indicted 10 of the 12 activists arrested in August while attempting to flee Hong Kong for Taiwan by boat.
Late on Wednesday the Yantian District People’s Procuratorate said two of the 12 were accused of organising an illegal border crossing, while eight were charged with illegally crossing the border. The remaining two members of the group are minors and authorities said there would be a closed-door hearing at a later date before any charges were laid.
