Protesters hold placards as they gather for a 'solidarity action' outside the Chinese Embassy in London on November 8, 2025, in support of the Hong Kong Alliance defendants. A Hong Kong court ruled last week that it will go ahead with the national security trial of three Tiananmen activists, leaders of the now-disbanded vigil organiser group -- known as the Hong Kong Alliance in January, rejecting a last-ditch application to toss out the case. Vigils have been banned since 2020, when Beijing imposed a national security law on the financial hub following huge, sometimes violent pro-democracy protests the year before. © AFP
