Hong Kong pro-independence activist Edward Leung was jailed for six years in 2018 for taking part in the 2016 Mong Kok riots, triggered by authorities' attempts to clear street food hawkers during Lunar New Year. Hong Kong has been gripped by mass demonstrations since June over a now-withdrawn extradition bill, which have since morphed into a wider anti-government movement. EPA/FAZRY ISMAIL
