Hong Kong Court Sentences 3 Tiananmen Vigil Organizers to Prison The High Court in Hong Kong delivered a verdict on October 21 that has sent shockwaves through the city's pro democracy movement.
A three judge panel sentenced Chow Hang tung, Ho Fa, and Wu Chi wai to prison terms ranging from seven months to one year for their roles as organizers of last year's Tiananmen Massacre vigil.
The convictions have sparked widespread condemnation, with many viewing the move as a brazen attempt by Beijing to muzzle dissent in the former British colony.
