FILE - Pro-democracy activists including from left Albert Ho, Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow Hang-tung shout slogans during a gathering to mourn those killed in the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown at Victoria Park in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong on June 4, 2020.

The activists were sentenced to about 5 to 7 years in prison in a case widely seen as a barometer of the city’s eroding freedoms as Beijing clamps down on dissent.
