Benny Tai, Chan Kin-man and Reverend Chu Yiu-ming were among nine defendants found guilty of a range of public nuisance offenses on Tuesday. Lawmaker Tanya Chan was also found guilty of"incitement to commit public nuisance." Sentencing will take place later, with the defendants facing up to seven years in prison on each charge. Tai, along with Chan and Chu, was the mastermind of Occupy Central with Love and Peace, a proposed civil disobedience action calling for free elections.
The global fight for Hong Kong democracy 01:48Tai appears likely to join a list of more than a dozen other protest leaders and pro-democracy politicians jailed since 2014 in court cases that have dragged on for years, sapping the city's opposition movement of energy and dampening both public and media attention.

Ridiculous. The Yellow Umbrella protests were praised around the world for being peaceful and well organised. This is just about silencing critics.
