I know that, what did this guy actually do?
The case against him is for collusion with foreign forces to undermine national security.
That is a very different thing from simply being "pro democracy", they charged rioters in the US with this excuse and they were also calling themselves pro democracy.
Still can't find a clear answer to my question on Google, smells weird to me.
It's difficult to find information on Google because vague terms like "pro-democracy" are used leaving the readers to imagine what it means.
