> Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung, former leaders of the Hong Kong Alliance, were convicted of “incitement to subversion” over organising annual vigils for those killed in the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown. Tried under Hong Kong’s 2020 national security law, they face up to 10 years in prison, with sentencing set for a later date.
