Friday, September 11, 2026
Activists in Hong Kong were sentenced to prison terms of up to seven years for commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown. The sentencing reflects Hong Kong's restrictions on public assemblies and commemorative gatherings following changes to the territory's legal framework. Hong Kong has historically allowed June 4 vigils marking the 1989 event, which are prohibited in mainland China.
