Prison Sentences of Up to Over 7 Years for Hong Kong Activists After Tiananmen Memorials
On 2026-09-11, three Hong Kong activists were sentenced to prison terms ranging from five to over seven years for organizing Tiananmen massacre commemorations. Lee Cheuk-yan received seven years, Chow Hang-tung seven years and three months, and Albert Ho five years and two months, all convicted of inciting subversion of state power. The annual memorials, banned since 2020, previously drew tens of thousands to Victoria Park. Critics argue the case highlights shrinking space for political opposition and free expression in Hong Kong since the 2020 national security law.
