Hong Kong's Tiananmen activists sentenced to up to seven years in prison
Summary
Prosecution and imprisonment of activists for commemorating the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown exemplifies authoritarian suppression of dissent, political memory erasure, and elimination of the last space in Chinese territory where such commemoration was possible.
Hong Kong used to be one of the only places in Chinese territory where people could gather to mark the 1989 crackdown.
