Hong Kong student activist leader Joshua Wong to face trial
Joshua Wong, the student leader of the Hong Kong democracy protests, will be put on trial in connection with charges relating to the storming of the government headquarters nearly a year ago.
According to the Guardian, Wong pleaded not guilty to charges of inciting and participating in an illegal assembly at a magistrate court on Wednesday.
The 18-year-old led the protest movement last year against Beijing's plan to restrict elections for the top leader of the semi-autonomous Chinese city.
The trial is set for October 30. Two other student leaders also pleaded not guilty at the same hearing.
