Wong will face an additional 10 months in jail for participating in an unauthorized Tiananmen vigil held last year to commemorate the 1989 crackdown on protesters in Beijing, as Hong Kong authorities continue tightening control over dissent in the city. For years, Hong Kong was the only place in China where people were allowed to mark the anniversary of Beijing's crushing of the Chinese democracy movement. Despite the commemoration being banned for the first time last year, thousands of protesters defied authorities and proceeded to Victoria Park to light candles and sing songs. Police who were present at the vigil warned the protesters they may be breaking the law but made no arrests on the day itself. Wong and three district councilors had pleaded guilty to knowingly taking part in an unauthorized assembly, and could have faced a maximum of five years in prison. Twenty other people face charges over the Tiananmen vigil but have not entered pleas. Wong, who rose to prominence as a student activist and was the face of the 2014 pro-democracy protests, is already in jail after being convicted of illegal assembly in other protests and was sentenced to an additional 10 months. Councilors Lester Shum, Jannelle Leung and Tiffany Yuen received sentences that range from four to six months for the Tiananmen vigil. Wong was also among the 47 activists charged under the city’s sweeping national security law for taking part in unofficial primary elections held last year by the pro-democracy camp to determine candidates to field in the legislative elections, which were later postponed. Authorities have launched an intense crackdown on dissent in Hong Kong following months of anti-government protests in 2019. In addition to the new national security law, the criteria for elections has been changed and many outspoken democracy advocates have been jailed. “We are very disappointed in how our courts have been failing to safeguard our rights to peaceful assembly, safeguard our rights to freedom of expression,” said Chow Hang-tung, vice chairperson of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, which organizes the annual Tiananmen vigil. “The courts keep on stressing that none of has more freedom than others, but it’s not, we are not seeking more freedom than others, we are seeking our guaranteed rights under our constitution, under the Basic Law, under the Bill of Rights,” she said. The Basic Law is Hong Kong’s mini-constitution and promises civic freedoms not allowed on the mainland. Democracy activists say those freedoms have been all but erased in the recent crackdown. Chow urged Hong Kong people and others around the world to continue remembering the Tiananmen crackdown by lighting a candle on June 4, wherever they are. On the night of June 3-4, 1989, Chinese military tanks and troops moved into Beijing's Tiananmen Square to break up weeks of student-led protests that had spread to other cities and were seen as a threat to Communist Party rule. Hundreds and possibly thousands of people were killed. --------------------------------------- UK mistakenly handed over HK to the China Appointed Hong Kong Minister,due to the UK interest in the merging of UK Midland Bank Plc with the Chinese HSBC,and to Access the Chinese Market/Commerce & Control Hong Kong Finance/Commerce,which China used as a Trap to receive Hong Kong without the Due rightful HK Election and hand over to HK rightful Citizen not Chinese Appointee that China to handle HK as its Land. by maziliteralworks Imperial Queen led UK handed over Hong Kong without the required UN/the Civilized World expected UK/China Joint conducted Hong Kong Citizenry Election of  HK Prime Minister,as to govern HK well but UK mistakenly handed over HK to the China Appointed Hong Kong Minister,due to the UK interest in the merging of UK Midland Bank Plc & Chinese HSBC,and to Access the Chinese Market/Commerce & Control Hong Kong Finance/Commerce,which Experts as UK Sold out Hong Kong to China,coupled with the UK failure of not issuing  accredited Hong Kong Citizens with the Dual UK-Hong Kong Passports,Now UK misled the World,rom 1 July 1997, and the British Government declared that it would hand over Hong Kong to China and late UK Action is unnecessary. ---------------------------- Soliciting for Maziliteralworks' Donation/any amount or Media laptop/window Computers' Donation, Phone Media Assistance for Mazi Literal Works' Dissemination/Publication.Upon your Response,more info of the US/Canadian Coordinator  will be sent.
