Hong Kong court finds 3 prominent pro-democracy activists guilty of unauthorized assembly over a June 4 vigil last year to mark Tiananmen Square.
Lai, Chow and Ho had pleaded not guilty to the charges linked to the gathering on June 4, 2020.
These efforts included an appeal by Chow for people to"light candles" all over Hong Kong, including the usual vigil site of Victoria Park. Ho earlier told the court that"remembrance is resistance," adding that she only went to the site to test the difference between Hong Kong and mainland China, where any commemoration of June 4 is taboo and can lead to imprisonment.mass pro-democracy protests
