Five pro-democracy figures have been charged with additional offences in relation to anti-government protests ahead of their first appearance in an illegal assembly case on Monday.
Former lawmakers Albert Ho, Lee Cheuk-yan, Cyd Ho and Leung Kwok-hung, as well as activist Figo Chan, all received additional charges of inciting unlawful assembly.
Lee, Chan , Albert Ho and Leung were charged in relation to a protest on October 1, while all except Lee were charged, along with Cyd Ho, with the same offence in relation to a protest on October 20.
The five were among 15 pro-democracy figures who were arrested last month in relation to various unauthorised protests last year. They were charged with inciting and participating in unlawful assemblies in August, September and October.
All 15 are due to appear before West Kowloon Magistracy on Monday.
