The case of eight pro-democracy activists being prosecuted over an unauthorised protest on July 1 last year is being transferred to the District Court.
The defendants – former lawmakers Wu Chi-wai, Chu Hoi-dick and Leung Kwok-hung; Figo Chan of the Civil Human Rights Front; and three district councillors – on Monday appeared at West Kowloon Magistracy.
They were charged with organising, taking part in or inciting others to join the protest, which took place a day after the national security law came into effect.
Their next court date is February 25.
Wu remained remanded in custody after he failed to hand in his British National (Overseas) passport to the court, violating his bail condition. The other seven were freed on bail.
