Ventus Lau and Althea Suen face rioting charges for their alleged involvement in the storming of the Legislative Council building on July 1 last year. It is understood most of 12 arrested protesters - including actor Gregory Wong Chung-yiu - will face rioting charges after the storming of the Legco building in Tamar. Lau said on Facebook yesterday that his lawyer had informed him the prosecution would be applying to add the rioting charge. The maximum sentence on that charge is three months in prison, Lau said. Apart from Lau, Suen and Wong, protesters arrested include Wong Ka-ho, 21, a photojournalist from City University student union's editorial board, and student Man Ka-kin, 21.
