Jimmy Lai has already been jailed for taking part in pro-democracy protests.
Lai, the 74-year-old owner of the now-shuttered pro-democracy Apple Daily newspaper, was found guilty of unlawful assembly charges.
The 73-year-old is currently serving a separate 14-month jail term for convictions related to other unauthorised rallies in 2019.
Jimmy Lai is one of several activists facing long-jail terms over new laws prompted by the Hong Kong anti-government protests.
The US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the law “makes a mockery of justice”.
He was among seven people detained on suspicion of colluding with foreign forces.
