The trial of Hong Kong pro-independence activist Edward Leung, who faces charges of rioting and incitement to riot during clashes with police in February 2016, begins today and is expected to conclude by May. The clashes which erupted in Mong Kok make up the worst street violence the city has seen since pro-democracy protests in 2014. Some 130 people were injured, including nearly 90 police officers and at least four journalists.
