A Hong Kong rights group that has organized candlelight vigils marking the 1989 Tiananmen massacre for the past three decades says several of its key members could soon face jail, as a further 10 veteran activists plead guilty to illegal assembly charges.
The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China said it would keep going with its human rights work despite the fact that around half of its leadership are currently facing jail terms under a city-wide crackdown on public dissent and peaceful opposition under a national security law imposed by Beijing.
Many of those facing jail are veteran leaders of the Alliance, who have been actively involved with organizing annual vigils marking the June 4, 1989 bloodshed, as well as running a museum dedicated to the mass, student-led democracy movement that saw hundreds of thousands occupy Tiananmen Square in the weeks leading up to the massacre.
