A Hong Kong court on Friday sentenced three pro-democracy activists to between five and seven years in prison for organizing annual vigils marking the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown, under the city's national security law.
Sentences and Legal Basis
Lee Cheuk-yan, 69, received seven years, while Chow Hang-tung, 41, was given seven years and three months. Albert Ho, 74, pleaded guilty and was sentenced to five years and two months. The Hong Kong Alliance, the group behind the vigils, was fined HK$1.5 million.
The three were convicted in August of incitement to subversion for their work with the now-disbanded Hong Kong Alliance, which had organized annual Tiananmen vigils in Victoria Park. Judges cited the group's call to end one-party dictatorship as challenging the legitimacy of Communist Party rule in the region.
Defendants' Defense and Court Rejection
Lee and Chow denied the subversion charges under Hong Kong's controversial national security law, insisting the alliance had not asked people to do anything illegal. They argued they believed they were acting within the law given Hong Kong's freedoms of speech.
The court rejected these arguments, noting that freedoms of speech have been severely curtailed since Beijing imposed the law in 2020 following a crackdown on mass pro-democracy protests the previous year. The vigils, once a major annual event in Hong Kong, have been effectively banned under the law.
International Reaction and Broader Context
Amnesty International's deputy regional director, Sarah Brooks, called the sentencing a triple tragedy for the activists, the Tiananmen victims, and Hongkongers denied the space to discuss the event. Germany and France condemned the verdict, stating that peaceful advocacy for human rights does not constitute a crime.
Chow, a barrister who represented herself, raised both arms and waved at supporters as she was escorted out. Her mother, Medina Chow, told supporters not to feel guilty. Among those arrested under the security law are former media tycoon Jimmy Lai and former student leader Joshua Wong.
