Hong Kong (CNN)Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Chow Hang-tung was sentenced to 15 months in prison on Tuesday for her part in organizing an unauthorized vigil to commemorate the victims of the 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre....
...Chow, a barrister, represented herself in court and pleaded not guilty to the charge, arguing that appealing to the public to light candles did not constitute "incitement." She also challenged the police prohibition order on the grounds it undermined her right to freedom of assembly and argued that she appealed for candles to be lit "anywhere" across Hong Kong, and was not encouraging a rally.
In her judgment, the magistrate wrote that Chow had "overstepped the boundaries laid down by the law by seriously unlawful means of inciting others to knowingly take part in an unlawful assembly."

Fauci’s friends, and business partners of the US government. Both lock up fake insurrectionists.
Well, China pretends that nothing actually happened in Tiananmen Square. So how can it be illegal to light candles to remember nothing? Quite absurd.

I agree. Kind of like no insurrection on Jan 6th, but plenty of people locked up for no good reason.
