A court in Hongkong sentences 3 people. They are Lee Cheuk-yan, Chow Hang-tung and Albert Ho. They go to prison for many years. The time in prison is between 5 and 7 years. The judges say: The activists want to overthrow the state power.
The 3 people organized a meeting every year in the past. They remember the mass killing at the square of heavenly peace. That was in the year 1989 in Peking. The army kills many people back then. This memory is illegal in China.
The judges punish the activists because of a new law. The law has the name security law. It forbids critique of the government from China. Critics say: The law takes the freedom from the people. Many countries and groups criticize the hard verdicts.
