A Hong Kong court is delivering verdicts in the national security trial of Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung, former leaders of the Hong Kong Alliance, charged with inciting subversion linked to the 1989 Tiananmen vigils, with penalties up to 10 years. The case is widely viewed as emblematic of eroded freedoms and intensified crackdown on dissent under Beijing's security law, drawing international attention to Hong Kong's shrinking space for pro-democracy activism.
