Hong Kong protests: Pro-democracy activists appear in court to face charges

CA, 19 Sep 2020
Fifteen Hong Kong pro-democracy activists and politicians arrived in court on Friday to face charges related to illegal assembly, stemming from the anti-extradition protests held last year.

Legislator Martin Lee and publishing tycoon Jimmy Lai were among those who appeared in court. Lai is also facing other investigations, including taking part in other assemblies and suspected collusion with foreign forces under the recent national security law imposed by Beijing in June.

Activists and supporters chanted pro-democracy slogans outside the West Kowloon Law Courts Building in Hong Kong.
