On July 28 of the previous year, the demonstration in Central and Sheung Wan developed into clashes between the police and the people. Many people were arrested and charged with rioting on that day. Many defendants who were in the front row of the demonstrators were convicted as the principal offenders, and they attacked the former police station during the incident.

All defendants were convicted of participating in a riot near Des Voeux Road West between West Side Street and Queen Street on July 28, 2019.

The defendant Jian Jianhuang (24) pleaded guilty earlier, and the 21-person case was sentenced today.

Multiple defendants stand front row

The judge earlier ruled that many defendants were in the front row of the protesters, which strengthened the demonstrators' defense line and would have a ripple effect. They believed that they were the main culprits. Some defendants also helped to put out the tear gas. The tear gas shot by the police bounced back to the police line and was eventually convicted.

Defendant found guilty of assaulting Deng Jingcheng's son

The judge also pointed out that although some defendants had tattoos of "Come on Hong Kong" on their bodies, the court did not infer that they participated in the riots based on this alone.

The judge also deduced that some of the defendants were not bystanders and participated in the riot according to their arrest positions.

In addition, Mo Zhuohui, the defendant accused of assaulting the son of the former "first brother" Tang Jingcheng of the police force, was also convicted of assaulting a police officer.
