A Hong Kong court sentenced Lee Cheuk-yan to seven years and Chow Hang-tung to seven years and three months for inciting subversion. [1] Reuters filed both as leaders of the disbanded Hong Kong Alliance that organized Tiananmen vigils. [1] Albert Ho, who pleaded guilty, received five years and two months in the same wrap. [1] Print the years as filed. Do not flatten three people into one number.
The New York Times filed the same sentences and a fine on the Alliance. [2] Judges noted no violence in the case. A sentence is not a rewritten 1989. Print Friday's bench. Leave an appeal to the edition that owns an appeal.
Friday recap that treats two seven-year terms as the last civil liberty is a feed, not Reuters. Print Lee and Chow. Print Ho's guilty plea as a third term, not seven.
