Hong Kong District Court handed down sentences on Sep. 1 to seven democracy activists for their involvement in an unauthorized rally during mass anti-government protests in 2019.

Last month, the seven activists pleaded guilty to charges of organizing and inciting others to participate in an assembly on Oct. 20, 2019, when tens of thousands took to the streets to protest the Chinese Communist Party’s (CCP) encroachment on Hong Kong’s freedoms.
