Three leaders of the Hong Kong Alliance were found guilty last week for failing to hand over records to the police.
The candlelight vigil to mourn victims of China's bloody crackdown on peaceful protesters in Beijing's Tiananmen Square on June 4, 1989 was banned by Hong Kong authorities in 2020, weeks before China imposed a sweeping national security law to silence political dissent in the city.
Magistrate Peter Law said national security was of cardinal importance and that the sentence needed to be"punitive and sufficiently deterrent". "We know as a matter of fact that we are no foreign agent, and nothing has emerged during this year-long ordeal that proves otherwise." Tang and Tsui were both granted bail pending appeal on Saturday, while Chow remains in custody awaiting trial in a separate national security case.
