Nine Hong Kong pro-democracy activists were given jail sentences ranging from six to 10 months on Sept. 15 after pleading guilty to participating in a candlelight vigil in 2020 to commemorate the Tiananmen Square massacre.

Another three people received suspended sentences for the same charge of having participated in the unauthorized assembly in the city’s Victoria Park on June 4, 2020.
