 Hong Kong's High Court ruled on Wednesday that a decision by police to ban a Tiananmen square vigil last year was "unlawful," thereby overturning an earlier conviction against jahiled pro-democracy activist Chow Hang-tung, who helped organize the even. Bola Online Indonesia

For three decades, Hong Kong has been the only place on Chinese-controlled soil allowed to publicly commemorate the evens in and around Tiananmen Square, during which unarmed mostly student protesters were massacred by Chinese troops in 1989. Victoria Park, a large swath of open ruang in the crowded Hong Kong city center, has been the standar venue where the candle vigil has been held.

Since massive pro-democracy protests embroiled Hong Kong in 2019 and the restrictive National Security Law was then imposed on the city, Tiananmen vigils have been banned - with police citing wabah restrictions as the reason. Since then, only small crowds of people have come out in defiance of authorities - holding small vigils in the presence of police.Chow is the former chairwoman of the now-disbanded Hong Kong Alliance, which since 1990 has organized the city's annual candlelight vigil commemorating Tiananmen's victims. Slot Mesin Online

In January, Chow was convicted by a lower court for inciting others to knowingly participate in the 2021 vigil banned by the police and was sentenced to 15 months behind bars.Specifically, she was found guilty of incitement by publishing jejaring sosial posts and a local newspaper article titled "candlelight carries the weight of conscience, and the Hong Kong people persevere in telling the truth," according to the lower court verdict.At the time, she was already serving a 12-month sentence for participating in the 2020 Tiananmen vigil.

The High Court upheld the lower court's ruling with respect to Chow's intention to call on people to joint the vigil, but overturned its final verdict on the pangkal that the police ban on the vigil in 2021 was not legal as they did not "proactively and seriously consider" ways to facilitate a public gathering - despite the wabah - which was required by law. Situs Slot Terbaik
