trib.al/gDlsm1f
Quick Glance: Hong Kong Activist's Conviction Restored Over Banned Vigil
- Hong Kong’s top court restored a prominent detained activist’s conviction for a banned vigil commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown on pro-democracy protesters.
- Chow Hang-tung, a former leader of the now-disbanded Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, was sentenced to 15 months in prison for inciting others to take part in the vigil banned by the police on public health grounds during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021.
- The annual vigil organized by the alliance was the only large-scale public commemoration of the 1989 crackdown on Chinese soil until authorities banned it in 2020, citing anti-pandemic measures.
- In a rare victory for the city’s activists under Beijing’s crackdown on dissidents, Chow won her appeal against her conviction in December 2022.
