Four Hong Kong ‘Occupy’ leaders jailed<\/h1>\n

for 2014 democracy protests<\/h1>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\u00a0A Hong Kong court jailed four leaders of 2014 pro-democracy protests on Wednesday amid heightened concerns over the decline of freedoms in the China-ruled city nearly five years after activists took to the streets in mass protests.<\/strong>
\nThe sentencing of the nine activists followed a near month-long trial that was closely watched as China\u2019s Communist Party leaders have put Hong Kong\u2019s autonomy under increasing strain, stoking concern among foreign governments, rights groups and business people.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Law professor Benny Tai, 54, and retired sociologist Chan Kin-man, 60, were both jailed for 16 months for conspiracy to commit public nuisance tied to the protests that paralyzed parts of the Asian financial center for 79 days in late 2014 and became known as the Umbrella Movement.
\nTheir sentence had been reduced by two months given their clean criminal record and positive character, Justice Johnny Chan said.<\/p>\n

Pro-democracy lawmaker Shiu Ka-chun and activist Raphael Wong were both jailed for eight months for inciting public nuisance.
\n\u201cWe maintain our determination to achieve universal suffrage … this won\u2019t change,\u201d Wong shouted out in court as he was taken away.
\nSince the city returned to Chinese rule in 1997, critics say Beijing has reneged on a commitment to maintain Hong Kong\u2019s high degree of autonomy and freedoms under a \u201cone country, two systems\u201d arrangement.<\/p>\n

The protesters had demanded that China’s Communist Party leaders allow genuine universal suffrage in Hong Kong to select its leader. Police cleared the demonstrators in December 2014, and authorities granted no democratic concessions. For an explainer, click: [reut.rs\/2IzSFWA]\n

Chan, in passing sentence, acknowledged the right to civil disobedience and the right of assembly and free speech, but said the protracted road blockages had caused suffering to the public and that some restrictions on freedoms were necessary in a democratic society.
\nRetired pastor Chu Yiu-ming, 75, received a suspended sentence, as did veteran democrat Lee Wing-tat and former student leader Eason Chung, with the judge taking into account their ages, public service and clean records.
\nAnother former student leader, Tommy Cheung, was ordered to carry out 200 hours of community service.<\/p>\n

Tanya Chan, a lawmaker, had her sentencing postponed until June 10 on medical grounds.<\/p>\n

Several hundred supporters, many wearing yellow bands and holding yellow umbrellas, a symbol of the protests, gathered outside the West Kowloon Law Courts. Some sobbed after the sentences were announced while others chanted demands for genuine democracy.<\/p>\n

The trial of the activists was considered the most significant legal maneuver by authorities to punish those involved in the 2014 protests, called Occupy Central, in reference to the city\u2019s central business district.<\/p>\n

The demonstrations were Hong Kong\u2019s biggest and most protracted in recent decades and one of the boldest challenges to China\u2019s leaders since pro-democracy protests in and around Beijing\u2019s Tiananmen Square in 1989.<\/p>\n

Organizers estimated that more than one million people took part in the protests over nearly three months.<\/p>\n

\"download\"<\/a>EXTRADITION LAWS<\/strong>
\nAuthorities have clamped down on opposition forces, disqualified democratic legislators, jailed activists and banned a pro-independence political party.<\/strong>
\nBefore the sentencing, rival political groups outside the court had taunted each other, with pro-democracy activists calling for Hong Kong leader Carrie Lam to step down, while Beijing loyalists chanted: \u201cGo away. Go occupy London.\u201d<\/p>\n

The activist leaders earlier urged supporters to take to the streets this Sunday to protest against proposed extradition laws that would allow people to be sent from Hong Kong to mainland China for trial.<\/p>\n

Critics fear the laws, which are expected to be passed this year, could further erode legal protections.<\/p>\n

All nine had argued the protests were intended as peaceful, non-violent civil disobedience, only to benefit society and make positive democratic progress.<\/p>\n

But Justice Chan said their \u201cmartyrdom … was a concocted one\u201d, noting that the price the defendants were prepared to pay had also to be borne by an inconvenienced public.
\nA court found the nine guilty of public nuisance charges on April 9.
\nThe case has stoked international worries.
\n\u201cIt would be deeply concerning if the outcome for these individuals were to deter the people of Hong Kong from participating in peaceful protest in the future,\u201d said a representative at the Hong Kong consulate of former colonial power Britain.<\/p>\n

The U.S. consulate said in a statement it was concerned by the Hong Kong government\u2019s decision to bring the charges against organizers of the \u201cpeaceful protests in 2014\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cSuch prosecutions can stifle the exercise of the basic freedoms enshrined in the Basic Law,\u201d said a U.S. consular spokesman, referring to the city\u2019s mini constitution.<\/p>\n

Taiwan\u2019s Mainland Affairs Council said in a statement that it \u201cdeeply regretted\u201d the court\u2019s decision, which it said showed the failure of \u201cone country, two systems\u201d to protect political rights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
