The trial of three activists involved in organizing vigils related to the Tiananmen Square event has commenced in Hong Kong. Chow Hang-tung, Albert Ho, and Lee Cheuk-yan, former leaders of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, face charges of "inciting subversion of state power" at Hong Kong's High Court.

During the court session on Thursday, Lee acknowledged supporters, while Chow expressed gratitude to her supporters. Lee and Chow pleaded not guilty; however, Ho entered a guilty plea. Approximately 70 individuals queued to access the public gallery, amid significant police presence.

Historically, Hong Kong hosted annual vigils commemorating the June 4, 1989, Tiananmen Square events, which were prohibited post-2020 following the imposition of a national security law by Beijing. This legislation was introduced after widespread pro-democracy protests in 2019.

The trial involves three government-vetted judges and is expected to last 75 days. The prosecution plans to present video evidence related to the Alliance's activities. The court dismissed an application by Chow to dismiss the case, asserting that the trial is not intended as a tool for political suppression.

The Hong Kong Alliance, established in May 1989, has consistently called for Beijing to accept responsibility and implement democratic reforms. The Alliance's annual vigils in Victoria Park attracted significant participation before their prohibition.

This trial follows the recent conviction of media tycoon Jimmy Lai, which received international attention. Lai was convicted of conspiring to commit foreign collusion. In response to the criticism, the city's chief justice emphasized that judicial decisions are based solely on law and evidence, not political considerations.
