Hong Kong Court to Rule on Activists in Tiananmen Vigil National Security Case
A Hong Kong court is set to deliver its verdict in a national security case against activists Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung, former leaders of the disbanded Hong Kong Alliance that organized annual Tiananmen Square vigils. Charged with inciting subversion under the 2020 national security law, they deny calls to overthrow China's Communist Party, framing their demands as democratic reforms. The case highlights concerns over freedom of expression in Hong Kong since Beijing's increased control.
