Court of Final Appeal Rejects Artist Wong Chung-yiu's Application for Leave to Appeal 2019 Legislative Council Riot Case

The Hong Kong Court of Final Appeal Appeal Committee rejected artist Wong Chung-yiu's application for leave to appeal against his 2019 Legislative Council riot conviction and 6-year 2-month sentence, saying the application had no reasonable grounds for appeal. Wong Chung-yiu was sentenced to prison in March 2024, and his appeal had earlier been dismissed by the Court of Appeal; this ruling means he has exhausted all appeal avenues.
