HONG KONG (AP) Nine of Hong Kong’s leading pro-democracy advocates were sentenced to jail terms yesterday for organising a march during the 2019 anti-government protests that triggered an overwhelming crackdown from Beijing.

They were found guilty earlier this month of organising and participating in a massive protest in August 2019, where an estimated 1.7 million people marched in opposition to a bill that would have allowed suspects to be extradited to mainland China for trial.
The protest was not authorised by the police. ....
