HK activists on trial over 'Occupy' protests

By Afp, Hong Kong

Three pro-democracy activists went on trial in Hong Kong yesterday over charges relating to mass rallies in 2014, with the movement's student leader accusing the government of "unreasonable" prosecution. Joshua Wong 19, was the teenage face of the Occupy Movement, which brought parts of the semi-autonomous Chinese city to a standstill for more than two months.
