Hong Kong court jails 12 jailed over legislature protest

Wong was jailed for just over six years - one of the longer sentences handed down by the district court on Saturday.
Activists Ventus Lau and Owen Chow were also among those given prison terms linked to the pro-democracy protest, reports BBC.
Meanwhile, two journalists were fined for illegally entering the Legislative Council chamber at the time.
Most of the defendants were found guilty of rioting.
The incident happened in July 2019 and was seen as a key moment in the pro-democracy protests that erupted over a controversial law allowing the extradition of people to mainland China.
Hundreds of protesters entered the building, spray-painting messages on the walls and carrying supplies for those occupying the premises.
Extensive damage was done to the building, with portraits of political leaders torn from the walls and furniture smashed.
Judge Li Chi-ho on Saturday said that, as well as physical damage, the storming had caused "long-lasting" social effects.
"Aside from the actual damage to the building, it had a symbolic meaning... [which was] challenging the Hong Kong government and even weakening its governance," Mr Li said, according to the AFP news agency.
The protests led to the introduction of a tough security law that made it easier to prosecute protesters and reduced the city's autonomy.
It is thought that more than 100 people have been arrested under the 2020 Beijing-imposed legislation.
Hong Kong, a former British colony, was handed back to China in 1997 under the principle of "one country, two systems". Critics accuse the Chinese Communist Party of violating the agreement to give the city a high degree of autonomy and to preserve its economic and social systems.
