Prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy activist and barrister Chow Hang-tung is among those convicted by the magistrate court.
Prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy activist and barrister Chow Hang-tung, 38, was among those convicted by the magistrate court. Chow is a former vice-chairperson of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China.
Since Hong Kong’s massive pro-democracy protests in 2019, authorities have not allowed the vigil to take place on COVID related grounds. The Alliance disbanded in September 2021 after authorities arrested several senior members of the group, including Chow. “The existence of an independent organization like us that can check power, is essential to the security of a nation, not a threat,” she told the court.
Chow is already serving two other prison terms for unlawful assembly linked to her involvement in organizing Tiananmen commemoration events, and faces a separate, graver charge of subverting state power through the Alliance.
