HONG KONG—A Hong Kong court on Thursday sentenced seven men to between 3.5 and 7 years in prison for their role in a 2019 attack on pro-democracy protesters, reporters, and bystanders at a train station.

The July 21 attack in the northern Yuen Long district by more than 100 people wearing white T-shirts and wielding sticks and poles was one of the most violent scenes of the 2019 unrest.
