@chrdnet.bsky.social🗞️ Standing outside the courthouse, #HK activist #ChowHangtung ’s mother Medina Chow thanked everyone for their support.
“For today’s verdict, you do not need to be overly saddened. Do not lose heart. And above all, do not feel guilty.”
@ishr.chToday, #TiananmenSquareVigil organisers received jail sentences:
#ChowHangTung 7 yrs 3 mos
#LeeCheukYan 7 yrs
#AlbertHo 5 yrs 2 mos
The Alliance: HK$1.5 million fine
#UN expert reiterated her call for their immediate release prior to the sentencing.
@chrdnet.bsky.socialđź”” A #HongKong court sentenced pro-democracy activists #ChowHangtung, #LeeCheukyan, and #AlbertHo today, capping a trial that mocked its own laws on #FreeExpression, association, and peaceful assembly. They should be released immediately and unconditionally.
@asianlawyersn.bsky.socialEverybody is worried that they will be given heavy sentences on Friday, 11 September 2026. They should have never been detained for exercising their freedom of expression and freedom of peaceful assembly. #HongKongAlliance #ChowHangtung #LeeCheukyan #AlbertHoChunyan
