Hong Kong court sentenced three former organizers of annual vigils marking China’s 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.

The High Court on Friday sentenced Lee Cheuk-yan, 69, to seven years and Chow Hang-tung, 41, to seven years and three months, following their conviction of inciting subversion last month, local media reported. They had pleaded not guilty and denied the charge.
