The defendants in each case were charged with one count of riots. The charges were that they were on the 18th of this month at the junction of Nathan Road in Nathan Road, Yau Ma Tei, and participated in riots with others.
One of the cases has a Nepalese defendant
The first case involved 17 men and 3 women, 8 of whom were accused and one of whom was a Nepalese. In the case, one of the defendants was still in hospital and could not appear in court today. All defendants appearing in court are allowed to be released on bail ranging from $1,000 to $5,000. They are required to abide by the prohibition order and the curfew and cannot leave the port during the period. The case was postponed until March 11 next year.

However, the Magistrate, Mr. He Jun-tung, questioned that there have been different incidents in the near future, and he asked whether he should "go out of the streets in the future." He Guan also questioned that the scope of the ban was greater than the location of the charge.
The prosecution explained that the police line of defense had confronted the demonstrators on Gascoigne Road, and the demonstrators had stolen petrol bombs. After the police officers advanced, they eventually arrested a number of people at the charge of charge together with other police officers who had been escorted, but admitted that they were unable to prove the behavior of the individual defendants at the time of the incident.
