A Hong Kong court sentenced three activists to prison terms ranging from approximately five to seven years for their roles in organizing annual vigils commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown. Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung were each sentenced to over seven years in prison after pleading not guilty, while Albert Ho received a sentence of five years and two months following a guilty plea.
The case is viewed as a significant indicator of the current state of civil liberties in Hong Kong amid ongoing efforts by Beijing to tighten political control within the territory.
