Four Years After the University Clashes | Review of Nearly 200 Judgments Tracks the Current Status of 327 Defendants in CUHK and PolyU Riot Cases
大學衝突四年｜整合近 200 份判案書 盤點 327 名中大理大暴動案被告現況
Four years ago in November, clashes between police and protesters erupted at several universities during the anti-extradition bill movement. The clashes at CUHK and PolyU were the most intense, and more than 1,400 people were arrested at the two institutions combined. Four years on, how many of those arrested have been prosecuted or convicted? The police declined to provide the latest figures. 《集誌社》reviewed nearly 200 court judgments and collated media reports, finding that at least 327 people were charged with rioting in connection with the clashes at the two universities: 317 in relation to the PolyU clashes and 10 in relation to the CUHK clashes. Of the 327 defendants charged with rioting, 221 were convicted after trial or pleaded guilty; the longest sentence was 68 months. At least 23 of them were under 18 at the time of the incidents, and four were sentenced to between 30 and 60 months in prison.
