Thousands of people in Hong Kong will be affected by the jailing of Tiananmen vigil organizers. The harsh sentences send a chilling message to those who dare to challenge Beijing's authority.

The move marks a significant escalation of the crackdown on dissent in the city, with the national security law being used to silence critics and punish those who refuse to comply. The law, imposed by Beijing, has been used to target pro-democracy activists, journalists, and politicians who have spoken out against the government.

The slogan, inspired by the musical Les Misérables, has been a rallying cry for pro-democracy protesters in the city. The use of the national security law to prosecute those who have used this slogan raises serious questions about the erosion of civil liberties in Hong Kong and the extent to which Beijing is willing to go to maintain control over the city.
