Thirteen Hong Kong people arrested over what is believed to be a world record seizure of almost 17 tonnes of the drug "ice" are facing the death penalty in a trial that starts on September 11 in Shenzhen.
The trial is being held at the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court and if found guilty the defendants could face the death penalty.
If that happens, the accused would be the largest single group of people from the SAR [Special Administrative Region] to be handed the death sentence.
