Hong Kong democracy activists granted bail



HONG KONG: The pro-democracy group Demosisto says Hong Kong activists Joshua Wong and Agnes Chow have been granted bail.

Demosisto leader Wong and member Chow were arrested Friday morning on suspicion of inciting and participating in an unauthorized assembly, AP reported.

The high-profile arrests sparked outrage among protesters who accused authorities of sowing “white terror” and attempting to pinpoint leaders in what demonstrators have said is a leaderless movement.
