Chow, who represented herself, had pleaded not guilty, saying she wanted to "incite others not to forget June 4," not to encourage a gathering
A Hong Kong court found a 36-year-old barrister guilty on January 4 of inciting an unauthorised assembly for an annual vigil to commemorate those who died in China's crackdown.
Activist , of the since-closed Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China, was arrested the day before the June 4 anniversary of the crackdown last year.
Police have banned the vigils in the last two years, citing coronavirus restrictions.
