Three former organizers of Hong Kong s annual vigil in remembrance of the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown on pro-democracy protests were jailed on Saturday for four-and-a-half months after they were convicted of not complying with a national security police data request, reported Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP).
AFP Three former organisers of Hong Kong's annual vigil to commemorate Beijing's deadly Tiananmen crackdown were found guilty on Saturday for refusing to submit information to national security police. The candlelight vigil was banned by authorities in 2020, weeks before Beijing imposed a sweeping national security law to stamp out political dissent in Hong Kong following large-scale and sometimes violent pro-democracy protests a year earlier.
