A Hong Kong court found two former organizers of the annual Tiananmen memorial rally guilty on Friday.

Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung were charged with inciting subversion under the national security law.

China imposed this law in 2021, and it effectively crushed Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement.

They could receive prison sentences of up to ten years.

The judges ruled that the alliance they led demanded an 'end to one-party dictatorship.' They said this was an attempt to end the Communist Party's leading position.

The ruling said this demand violated the constitution and counted as 'other illegal means' under the security law.

The judges wrote that the defendants kept making the demand after the law was introduced. They also said the defendants did not truly believe their actions were legal.

Before leaving the court, the defendants smiled and waved at the audience. They plan to appeal for a lighter sentence next week.

This ruling is one of the recent events related to Hong Kong's once lively pro-democracy movement.

For decades, Hong Kong's annual candlelight vigil was the only large public event to remember the Tiananmen crackdown. That event is banned in mainland China.

Observers say this trial shows that freedom of expression is being eroded in Hong Kong.

Eric Lai from the Georgetown Asian Law Center spoke. The goal itself may be seen as unconstitutional. Moderate methods do not provide protection.

At the trial, Lee Cheuk-yan said their demand was not to end party leadership. It was to move toward democracy.

Chow said that he was taken from prison to court. He was handcuffed and chained, and walked 'like a dog.'

After the guilty verdict, Lee's wife said it was unfair. Chow's mother said she hoped for a healthier environment.

Hong Kong leader John Lee said the alliance planted seeds of hatred in society. It also put national security at risk.

The US, UK, and European Union criticized the ruling. The UN chief stressed the freedom of peaceful assembly.
