Hong Kong’s media mogul Jimmy Lai, opposition politician Gwyneth Ho and prominent human rights lawyer Chow Hang-tung have been convicted under the territory’s security law after taking part in a banned Tiananmen Square vigil last year. Thousands of Hongkongers defied the ban in June, and that led to many prominent pro-democracy politicians and activists being arrested. The vigil is an annual commemoration of the victims of the 1989 massacre, which Beijing has recently banned in Hong Kong and Macau. Most of those arrested are already behind bars, but Lai, Hang-tung and Ho were the only 3 to contest their charges in court. The trio will be sentenced on 13 December and face up to 5 years in jail. Critics say it’s a potent example of the law imposed by China being used as a tool to quash dissent. #SquizShortcut
