Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai, two others found guilty over unauthorised Tiananmen Square vigil in 2020

Jailed media tycoon Jimmy Lai Chee-ying and two co-defendants have been found guilty on unauthorised assembly charges stemming from last year’s banned Tiananmen Square vigil.

Thursday’s ruling at the District Court means that all 24 opposition activists and former politicians who faced trial over the annual candlelight event, which police banned for the first time in 30 years, have been convicted of charges related to an illegal public gathering.
