Hong Kong Court Sentences Tiananmen Vigil Organisers to Up to Seven Years

Three Hong Kong activists who organised annual Tiananmen Square crackdown vigils were sentenced to prison terms of up to seven years under the national security law.

Lee Cheuk-yan was sentenced to seven years and Chow Hang-tung to seven years and three months for inciting subversion, while Albert Ho received five years after pleading guilty.

The court also handed a HK$1.5 million fine to the now-disbanded Hong Kong Alliance, drawing criticism from human rights organisations over freedom of expression.
