Hong Kong activists associated with commemorations of the 1989 Tiananmen crackdown have been sentenced to prison terms of up to seven years.

The available information does not specify the number of people sentenced, their names, the individual terms imposed or the charges involved. It also does not provide details of any official response or say whether appeals are planned.

The latest known development is that prison sentences have now been handed down, with the longest term reaching seven years.
