Pro-democracy activists Joshua Wong, Agnes Chow and Ivan Lam were jailed by West Kowloon Magistracy on Wednesday for their roles in an anti-government protest that saw police officers trapped inside their headquarters in Wan Chai for hours.

Wong received 13.5 months behind bars, Chow 10 months and Lam 7 months, with their jail terms reduced in light of their guilty pleas.

But the magistrate said she had used a higher starting point for sentencing Wong because he had taken a "leadership role" in the protest.
