2 organizers of Hong Kong's Tiananmen vigils convicted in national security case

Two former organizers of Hong Kong's annual vigils commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung, have been convicted in a national security case. Charged in 2021 with inciting subversion, the pair were prosecuted under a Beijing-imposed national security law. This legal framework has effectively suppressed the city's pro-democracy movements. The convicted organizers now face potential sentencing following the court's decision regarding their roles in organizing the decades-old remembrance events.
