> Two former organisers of Hong Kong’s annual vigils commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown were convicted by government-approved judges on charges of inciting others to overthrow China’s communist leadership. Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung, former leaders of the Hong Kong Alliance, were charged under a China-imposed national security law in 2021.
