Hong Kong Tiananmen Square vigil organisers convicted under national security law

Two prominent Hong Kong activists, Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung, were convicted of inciting subversion for organizing annual vigils commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown. The verdict marks one of the most significant prosecutions under Beijing's 2020 national security law imposed on Hong Kong. The convictions of these Hong Kong Alliance leaders reflect Beijing's intensifying crackdown on dissent and commemoration of sensitive historical events.
