#Court Changes the Charge of 12 Pro-democracy Protesters including Actor Gregory Wong
to Rioting
On July 1, 2019, pro-democracy protesters entered the Legislative Council chamber to voice t
Activist Ventus Lau and actor Gregory Wong were among those who were charged with "entering or attempting to enter the Chamber or the precincts of the Chamber". On June 9, the court suddenly changed their charges to rioting. This means that the maximum sentence they will face jumped from 3 months to 10 years.
When they were mentioned in court on June 10, about 50 citizens showed support outside the court.
Before entering the court, Lau said, apart from the 12 protesters being charged in the incident on July 1 2019, the other 600 protestors facing rioting charges need equal attention. "Say if one coach bus takes 100 passengers, that means there are 6 full loaded coaches of people who are facing up to 10 years in jail.They bet their future on this fight just to speak out for Hong Kongers".
"On this day which marks the one year anniversary of Hong Kong's movement, we need to keep the our five demands in mind, especially the 'retraction of characterisation of protests as rioting'", Lau added, "When you look at the 600+ civilians being charged with rioting, we can't afford to give up".
Actor Gregory Wong was also present in the court hearing. He described the change of charge as "white terror", and said he was already prepared to be charged from the moment he took part in the movement. Wong hopes that HongKongers can keeping fighting despite the government's suppression.
Among the supporters who showed up, a middle school student said he rushed to the court right after school. "The fact that they changed the charges to rioting on no other day but this anniversary day has made me realise that Hong Kongers have to persist in fighting, until the day Hong Kong become independent."

Actor Gregory Wong Raises Three Finger Salute After Leaving Court
Protestors had broken into and entered the Legislative Council Complex on 1 July last year. The police had then charged former president of the Hong Kong University Students' Union Althea Suen, spokesperson of the Hong Kong Civil Assembly Team Ventus Lau, actor Gregory Wong among 11 others for "entering or remaining in precincts of Chamber", with charges of rioting added later.
The case was mentioned at the district court this Thursday, with Judge Justin Ko accepting the defendant's request of acquiring legal aid before consolidating the trials. The case would be mentioned again on 16 October at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts.
Gregory Wong raised the three-finger sign, a gesture inspired by the Three Finger Salute in Hunger Games and a gesture symbolising the three demands of the recent Thai protests, while leaving the court. The three demands of the recent Thai protests include: the dissolution of the House of Representatives of Thailand and fresh legislative elections, a halt on the oppression of dissidents, and a revision of the Thai Constitution.
