3 Hong Kong activists who organized vigils to commemorate the Tiananmen massacre now face up to 6 months in prison after they refused to provide information to authorities following their arrest in 2021.

They had been arrested in 2021 during a crackdown on Hong Kong's civil society sector following the passage of a wide-ranging national security law.

The three activists now face up to six months in prison and a fine of nearly $13,000. They said they didn't cooperate with the policy because they believed the state had arbitrarily designated them foreign agents without providing evidence.

One of the activists, Chow Hang-tung, was arrested on a separate national security charge of subversion in 2021 and is already in prison.

This is what advocates - a communist state

Not a massacre.

Say what you will about America, but at least you can say what you will about America in America.

Why can't they just follow the rules, right?

Communism doesn’t like free speech.

Hong Kong court convicts 3 members of Tiananmen vigil group for security offenceThree former members of a Hong Kong group that organised annual vigils to mark China's 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown, were found guilty on Saturday of not complying with a national security police request for information. Gestapo refuse to disclose the identity of 'foreign power', thus there is no ground to proof why they are suspected to commit the crime --- But the judge still rule the instruction from Gestapo is legal.. Welcome to NEW Hong Kong. Conviction based on such “evidence”. No one could defend themselves against such obvious political persecution. This is what’s happening in Hong Kong kangaroo courts under Beijing’s full control. The foreign-funded wolf pack was waging war on China for years. Their struggle was justifiable somehow before HK's return to China was completed but they went on another evil path to destabilize the state. They failed to assimilate, nobody will shed tears for them.

Hong Kong court convicts activists behind Tiananmen vigilHONG KONG (AP) — Three Hong Kong activists from a now-defunct group that organized annual vigils commemorating China’s 1989 crackdown on pro-democracy protesters were convicted on Saturday for failing to provide authorities with information on the group in accordance with a national security law. Don't call it a Hong Kong court. That shit is Beijing all day. A trial with 99% of material covered in the name of confidentiality. How could this be a fair trial? No more burden of proof for the regime, hence indicating it’s no longer the common law we are familiar with in Hong Kong now. McKBenLove0T Presumption of guilt is the new normal in HelloHongKong and people are 100% convicted under CCP's NSL unless they can prove themselves absolutely innocent.
