A leading activist in China's MeToo movement has gone on trial for subversion, according to campaigners.
Journalist Sophia Huang Xueqin appeared in court in the southern city of Guangzhou on Friday with her co-accused, labour campaigner Wang Jianbing.
The two were detained in 2021 as part of China's wide crackdown on activists.
Rights groups have raised concern over their condition while in detention.
Friday's hearing proceeded under heavy guard, with authorities surrounding the court house with a fence, said the spokesperson of a group that is campaigning for their freedom.
