Convictions over organizing an unauthorized assembly were quashed, but convictions over taking part in an unauthorized assembly were upheld
Seven of Hong Kong’s most prominent pro-democracy advocates had part of their convictions quashed Monday over their roles in one of the biggest pro-democracy protests in 2019.
Their convictions two years ago and their sentences were widely seen as another blow to the city’s flagging democracy movement under an unprecedented crackdown by Beijing and Hong Kong authorities. Macrae and his colleagues said in a written judgment that an organizer must take some responsibility for or do something active to plan and arrange an action.
Ng, Martin Lee, Lee Cheuk-yan and Ho were in the courtroom to hear the judges’ decision. Ho and Lee Cheuk-yan appeared tanned and spirited.
