Hong Kong democracy protesters sentenced
Three student leaders in Hong Kong's pro-democracy movement have been sentenced for leading mass rallies and sit-ins in 2014
Joshua Wong became the teenage face of the protests in 2014
Joshua Wong, who became the teenage face of the protests, was given 80 hours of community service for unlawful assembly.
Nathan Law was sentenced to 120 hours, while Alex Chow was given a three week prison sentence suspended for a year.
The three were facing a maximum of two years in jail.
Wong, 19, as well as Law and Chow climbed over a fence into the forecourt of the Hong Kong government complex on 26 September 2014.
Their arrest helped trigger mass pro-democracy protests, known as the umbrella movement, which caused parts of the city to standstill for nearly three months.
The movement called on Beijing to allow fully free elections for the leader of the semi-autonomous territory.
However, it failed to win any concessions from Beijing on political reform.
