Hong Kong’s Tiananmen vigils organisers convicted in national security case • FRANCE 24 English

Two former organisers of Hong Kong’s annual vigils in remembrance of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown were convicted by government-approved judges Friday for inciting others to overthrow China’s communist leadership. Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung, former leaders of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, were charged with inciting subversion in 2021 under a China-imposed national security law that has effectively crushed the city’s previously thriving pro-democracy movement.

  1. It’s clear that "One nation two systems" is not enforced any more. Hong Kong autonomy is surely disrupted.

    Taiwan opinion surely understands what it means "Unite".
