# Two pro-democracy activists who organised annual vigils to mark China’s deadly Tiananmen crackdown, have been found guilty of inciting subversion by a Hong Kong court. In 1989, the ruling Chinese Communist Party sent tanks in to violently quell peaceful, student-led democracy protests at Beijing’s Tiananmen Square, killing an estimated ten-thousand people. Prominent young human rights lawyer, Chow Hang-tung, and former opposition lawmaker, Lee Cheuk-yan, face jail terms of up to ten years. A third defendant, Albert Ho, pleaded guilty in January.
