Hong Kong Court Convicts 2 Tiananmen Square Vigil Organizers

A Hong Kong court convicted former activists Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung on Friday of inciting subversion under the city's national security law for their roles in organizing annual candlelight vigils commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.

A Hong Kong court convicted former activists Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung on Friday of inciting subversion under the city's national security law for their roles in organizing annual candlelight vigils commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.

Three national security judges delivered a 216-page ruling finding that the alliance's call to end one-party rule aimed to overthrow the Communist Party's constitutional leadership status, with the word "end" carrying the meaning of "overthrowing" and "undermining."

The Hong Kong Alliance, founded in May 1989, organized annual vigils at Victoria Park from 1990 to 2019 before authorities banned the event in 2020, citing COVID-19 restrictions. The group disbanded in September 2021 following arrests of its leadership.

Hong Kong leader John Lee said the alliance had long planted "seeds of hatred" against the Communist Party, while Amnesty International said the case "relies on vague, overly broad and arbitrary definitions of 'subversion'" and called for the defendants' immediate release.

Mitigation hearings are scheduled for Aug. 28, with judges citing Article 23 of the national security law, which sets sentences of five to 10 years for serious subversion offences and up to five years for minor ones.
