Pro-democracy activist Au Nok-hin sentenced to 140 hours of community service: Hongkongers should "speak the truth" in light of "difficult times for the rule of law"
Au Nok-hin, pro-democracy activist and ousted lawmaker, was sentenced to 140 hours of community service for "assaulting police" with a loudhailer during a protest on July 8, 2019. Au was accused of hurting an officer's ears by speaking too loudly through the device. It was previously told in the court that the look on Au's face at the time led the officer to fear a violent attack.
Speaking before the sentence on April 24, Au said he believes he is not guilty. He urged the people of Hong Kong to "speak the truth" in light of "difficult times for the rule of law".
Au was also one of 15 prominent pro-democracy figures arrested last Saturday and charged with organising and joining unauthorised anti-government protests last year. The 15, who also include barristers Martin Lee and Margaret Ng, and Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai, are due in court in May 2020.

Hong Kong Police Likely to Ban May 1st Protest, Uncertainties on June 4th Tiananmen Massacre Vigil and July 1st March: Sources
Ming Pao, a Chinese-language newspaper in Hong Kong, quoted police sources that the police would not approve the May 1st Protest. Worse, the police may consider the current pandemic as an excuse and cite public security regulations to disallow the annual June 4th vigil in memory of the 1989 Tiananmen Massacre.
Even the Democratic Front had already applied for the annual July 1st March in advance, the police will not deal with it at this stage.
