Trial of Hong Kong independence activists charged with rioting

(18 Jan 2018) Key participants of the pro-independence protests which took place in Hong Kong in 2016 appeared at the High Court on Thursday to face various and assault charges. Edward Leung could be seen arriving at the court and police could also be seen moving evidence relating to the case - including pro-independence flags and loud speakers which were used in the protests. The demonstrations, which took place in February 2016, began following authorities' attempts to crack down on a lunar new year food market in a crowded Kowloon neighbourhood. Dozens of demonstraters were injured and arrested after clashes with police. The violence is the worst in Hong Kong since pro-democracy protests rocked the city in 2014, and have illustrated the public's growing distrust in authorities. The trial is expected to last 80 days.
