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