Seven of Hong Kong's senior pro-democracy leaders have been found guilty over their involvement in a peaceful protest organised in 2019.

The defendants were convicted on March 31, 2021, of organising and participating in a protest in Victoria Park. They could face up to 10 years in jail.

File footage from August 18, 2019 shows a political activist wearing a face-covering gas mask standing in front of the incendiary comment "S.S. Nazi = H.K. Police," which is written across a white police bollard.

Footage also shows one Hong Kong protester sitting on the shoulders of another while spray-painting graffiti onto a public wall. The image she creates is a character wearing a hard hat with the word "Press" written on it.

The satirical image shows the 'press' character holding a mobile phone with the camera pointing out.

The filmer also captures a group of people celebrating a birthday as the protests swarm around them.

The small group sing 'Happy Birthday' while surrounding a girl sat on the floor who 'blows' out laser 'candles' in the form of green dots on the floor. The group clap and cheer before heading back into the fray.
