Masked protesters gather outside the High Court premises in support of activist Edward Leung, jailed for taking part in the 2016 Mongkok riots, during an appeal hearing for his period of sentence in Hong Kong on October 9, 2019. Leading independence activist Leung was jailed for six years on June 2018 for his involvement in the 2016 Lunar New Year riots in Hong Kong's Mongkok district, then one of the city's worst protest violence in decades, as semi-autonomous Hong Kong has been battered by four months of increasingly violent pro-democracy protests sparked by opposition to a now-scrapped bill allowing extraditions to China.
