HONG KONG: Two Hong Kong residents were found guilty on a sedition charge on Thursday after they clapped and criticized the judge during a previous trial over a banned Tiananmen Square vigil in the city.

Pastor Garry Pang Moon-yuen and homemaker Chiu Mei-ying were arrested in April for disturbances they made in a court hearing in January, when a leader of the group that organized the Hong Kong vigil was sentenced for inciting others to join the prohibited event last year.
