3 Hong Kong activists who organized vigils to commemorate the Tiananmen massacre now face up to 6 months in prison after they refused to provide information to authorities following their arrest in 2021.
They had been arrested in 2021 during a crackdown on Hong Kong's civil society sector following the passage of a wide-ranging national security law.
The three activists now face up to six months in prison and a fine of nearly $13,000. They said they didn't cooperate with the policy because they believed the state had arbitrarily designated them foreign agents without providing evidence.
One of the activists, Chow Hang-tung, was arrested on a separate national security charge of subversion in 2021 and is already in prison.
