HONG KONG, May 19 (China Daily/ANN) - Three young protesters involved in last year's social unrest — one who possessed five gasoline bombs, and two others who caused property damage of over HK$230,000 (US$29,700) — were sentenced to prison on Monday in two separate cases.

Law professor Willy Fu Kin-chi said the sentences are a wake-up call to those Hong Kong youngsters who intend to participate in illegal protests.
