Activist, along with three others, jailed for participation in illegal assembly
Hong Kong s District Court on Thursday sentenced activist Joshua Wong Chi-fung to 10 months in jail for participating in an illegal assembly in June 2020.
The court sentenced three other activists, Lester Shum, Tiffany Yuen Ka-wai and Jannelle Rosalynne Leung, who took part in the same assembly, to six months, four months and four months respectively.
Judge Stanley Chan Kwong-chi determined that the defendants had ignored from the very beginning that the meeting was unlawful under the police s objection issued on June 1, as well as the enormous risk of the assembly to descend into violence.
