Hong Kong's top court reviews validity of June 4 alliance convictions

Credited from: SCMP

  • Judges at Hong Kong's **top court** challenged the grounds for convicting three members of a disbanded alliance linked to the annual **Tiananmen Square vigil**.
  • The convictions were based on the police commissioner's **“reasonable belief”** that the group was a **“foreign agent”**, but this reasoning was not detailed during the original trial.
  • Alliance members, including **Chow Hang-tung**, seek to overturn their **4½-month jail sentences** from 2023 for refusing to comply with police inquiries.
  • Defense counsel criticized the trial process, arguing it resembled being accused without knowing the accuser, demanding clarity on the **prosecution's evidence**.
  • The judges raised concerns about the prosecution's ability to secure convictions based on the police commissioner's belief without presenting key evidence during trial.
