Despite her court victory, Chow remains in custody as she faces further prosecutions including for national security charges which carry up to a decade in jail.
Chow was arrested on the morning of Jun 4, 2021, when her articles appeared on social media and in a newspaper calling on residents to mourn Tiananmen victims.
At the time, police warned that the vigil was banned due to the pandemic and that thousands of officers would be on standby to halt any "unlawful assemblies".
But judge Barnes said on Wednesday that police failed to fulfil their duty under the law to take reasonable measures to facilitate public gatherings, such as imposing conditions on social distancing.
"Although the organisers expressed willingness to follow any reasonable demands by the police, the police only raised questions ... and did not propose measures or conditions that could obviously be considered," the judge said.
AFP has contacted the Department of Justice and Hong Kong police for comment.
In mainland China, censors have long scrubbed what happened at Tiananmen Square, both online and in the real world.
Commemoration of the Tiananmen incident in Hong Kong has largely been driven underground.
Last year, multiple statues marking the historical event were removed from university campuses while an activist-run museum was shut down.
