Trial of former Portuguese deputy in Macau to be held behind closed doors

Expresso11 September 2026 at 13:00

The Macau Court announced that the trial of Au Kam San, former deputy of the Territorial Assembly of Macau, will begin on Wednesday. The trial will take place behind closed doors, meaning without public access.

Au Kam San is accused of three crimes against state security. The former deputy will face these accusations in the Macau court, which decided to keep the proceedings under seal.

Au Kam San was a member of the Territorial Assembly of Macau, the regional legislative body of the territory administered by China. The case raises questions about the application of national security laws in the autonomous region.

The closed-door trial prevents open media coverage and limits the transparency of the judicial process, a situation that has been criticized by human rights organizations.
