Two young Hong Kong protesters who were earlier cleared of manslaughter over a 2019 demonstration that resulted in the death of a cleaner have been jailed 5½ years for rioting.
Student Chan Yin-ting, 18, and Kelvin Lau Tsz-lung, 19, who is unemployed, appeared before a High Court judge on Friday to be sentenced over the riot in Sheung Shui on November 13, 2019, that resulted in the death of Luo Changqing, described by the judge as “heart-rending” .
