Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Joshua Wong has been sentenced to 10 months in jail for participating in an unauthorised vigil marking the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown.

The annual vigil, which has been held in Hong Kong since 1990, was banned for the first time last year by police citing virus measures.

Nevertheless, tens of thousands of people including activists, showed up.

The activists that attended, including Wong, were later charged by police.
