> Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung, former organisers of Hong Kong’s annual vigils for the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre, were convicted of inciting subversion. Three government-vetted judges said they urged others to organise, plan, carry out or join unlawful acts aimed at subverting state power.
