Hong Kong's Tiananmen activists sentenced to up to seven years in prison
Hong Kong used to be one of the only places in Chinese territory where people could gather to mark the 1989 crackdown.
Three Hong Kong activists who organised annual vigils commemorating Beijing's 1989 crackdown on Tiananmen Square protests have been handed prison sentences of up to seven years.
Two of the defendants - Lee Cheuk-yan, 69, and Chow Hang-tung, 41 - were convicted last month of inciting others to subvert state power, under the city's controversial national security law.
For years, Hong Kong was one of the only places in Chinese territory where people could hold gatherings to mark the Tiananmen Square crackdown - a topic that is highly sensitive and heavily censored in mainland China.
"I cannot imagine that he has to spend another three years in jail, it is really unacceptable," she said, adding that Lee intended to appeal his sentence.
