HONG KONG — A Hong Kong court on Thursday convicted two former senior editors and the owner of the folded pro-democratic online news outlet Stand News.

Former Editor-in-Chief Chung Pui-kuen and acting chief editor Patrick Lam, along with the publication’s owner, Best Pencil (Hong Kong), were charged under a colonial-era law with publishing “seditious material.”
