The Hong Kong protests have dragged on for more than six months.
"We couldn't have a honeymoon last year because our travel documents were forfeited," To recalled.Last year's pro-democracy rallies raged for more than seven months, the culmination of years of rising fears that Hong Kong's unique freedoms are being eroded by mainland Chinese rule.Mass arrests and the coronavirus brought the cycle of unrest to an end. "A political problem can't be resolved with laws," he said. Hong Kong protesters have also employed a 50-year-old resistance strategy called “black blocking,” where participants wear generic, all-black clothing to conceal their identity. This service is not intended for persons residing in the EU. During an anti-government protest on July 1 last year, the legislature’s complex in Admiralty even became a target, with hundreds of radicals ... Hong Kong… Henry Tong and Elaine To were preparing to spend their first wedding anniversary in separate prison cells -- until their acquittal for rioting during Hong Kong's pro-democracy protests. HONG KONG — The Hong Kong protests at times seem like love fests with the United States. "Now we can keep the shop open and we need to make it look cool again," To told AFP.Of the more than 9,000 people arrested during the unrest, more than 650 have been hit with rioting charges and trials now fill the city's courts.Rioting is a broadly worded colonial-era crime which critics have long argued needs reform.Under the law authorities can declare any protest a riot if three or more people commit certain violent acts.Police can arrest anyone present at such a protest for rioting, and have done many times over the last year.But Tong and To's two-month trial suggests the courts expect prosecutors to prove more than mere presence at a protest to secure a conviction.Tong and To were arrested in a side alley along with a teenage girl on Jul 28 last year during clashes between protesters and police in Sheung Wan.Prosecutors said they were taking part in the clashes, saying they had gas masks and radios.Their defence said they were helping people escape clouds of tear gas fired by police, and while they had attended protests they were not participating in street battles.Presiding judge Anthony Kwok said prosecutors could not provide any direct evidence of the defendants' participation in a riot.He stressed his ruling conformed with the common law principle that "the benefit of the doubt should go to the defendant".The couple and the teenager were acquitted of both rioting and attending an unlawful protest.The one charge that stuck for Tong and To was not having a licence for their radio equipment.

But resentment towards Beijing still simmers.Last month China imposed a sweeping national security law on the city, handing authorities a much broader set of tools to prosecute dissenters.But Tong says he believes Hong Kongers will continue to voice dissatisfaction with how their city is run.

But judge Kwok indicated he did not intend to hand down a jail sentence for that when they are sentenced.Tong said he felt angry that prosecutors had pressed ahead with the case.
