Six of the defendants in the Hong Kong Legislative Council storming case, including Althea Suen Hiu-nam, the former president of the Hong Kong University Students’ Union, pleaded for leniency on Feb. 6.
Ms. Suen said that as a passionate lover of Hong Kong, it was “a natural and unshirkable thing” for her to join the anti-Extradition Law Amendment Bill Movement. During her speech, the judge interrupted at least five times and warned he might suspend her speech.
