A Hong Kong court sentenced 12 people Saturday to prison over the storming of the city’s Legislative Council building at the height of the anti-government protests in 2019. Hundreds of protesters swarmed into the legislature the night of July 1, 2019 — the 22nd anniversary of the former British colony’s return to China — defacing pictures and smashing furniture.
The case also involved two reporters who were previously acquitted of the rioting charge but were convicted for unlawful entry into the legislature. One was fined 1,500 Hong Kong dollars — about $192 — and the other 1,000 Hong Kong dollars , Li said. After the sentences were handed down, some supporters of the defendants cried in the courtroom and many others waved at the accused.
