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.

Last Friday, the defendants pleaded guilty to knowingly participating in an unauthorized assembly on June 4, 2020. Twenty-six opposition figures were involved. Two of them, Nathan Law Kwun-chung and Sunny Cheung Kwan-yang, have fled Hong Kong.
