> Hong Kong activists Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung, who organised annual vigils for those killed in the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown, were convicted of inciting others to subvert state power under the city’s national security law. Former lawmaker Albert Ho, the third defendant, pleaded guilty earlier. Lee and Chow face up to 10 years in prison, with sentencing to follow.
