Three Hong Kong pro-democracy activists were arrested Monday after pleading guilty to organizing an anti-government protest last year.

Joshua Wong, Ivan Lam, and Agnes Chow have been taken into custody and are expected to be sentenced on Dec. 2nd. The group was charged for leading, inciting, and organizing an unauthorized protest of thousands of people outside police headquarters in June of 2019, reported AP News.

Those found guilty of unlawful assembly in Hong Kong could face up to five years in prison, according to the Los Angeles Times.
