Hong Kong protests: Nine activists 'to be charged'
27 March 2017 China
Nine pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong say police have told them they will be charged over the 2014 protests, a day after new leader Carrie Lam vowed to heal divisions in the territory.
The nine include the three organisers of Occupy Central, which evolved into the "umbrella" protest mass movement.
The group are expected to be charged with creating a public nuisance.
Ms Lam, who was chosen to lead the territory on Sunday, said the law had to be respected.
