Former Hong Kong Lawmaker Lam Cheuk-ting Sentenced to Over 3 Years for Role in 2019 Yuen Long Riot

Lam, already serving a separate sentence for subversion, was found guilty of instigating violence during a mob attack at a subway station.

Lam Cheuk-ting, a former pro-democracy lawmaker, was sentenced to 37 months in prison for his involvement in the 2019 Yuen Long MTR station riot.
The court ruled that Lam's actions and words at the scene escalated tensions, rejecting his claims of acting as a mediator or in self-defense.
The 2019 incident involved over 100 white-shirted men attacking protesters and bystanders with clubs and sticks, and Lam was accused of provoking violence against them.
Six other defendants in the case received prison sentences ranging from two years and one month to two years and seven months.
Lam is already serving a six-year, nine-month sentence for subversion related to an unauthorized 2020 primary election, with an appeal pending.
