According to the organization Hong Kong Watch, 2,300 people have been prosecuted for crimes related to the protests in 2019, so far.
According to the charity Wall-fare, which provides democracy activists who are in prison or detained with everyday items, 190 people are in prison because of their involvement in the protests.
There are no official figures from the Hong Kong police.
Local politician Leticia Wong is trying to support the friends and colleagues in the democracy movement who are now facing trial.
- I have many friends, my own age and younger, who are charged now.
I also know people who have already come out again after being imprisoned, and others who are waiting for their sentences.
What she can do to provide support is quite limited.
No meetings are allowed, with reference to the coronary restrictions.
The democracy movement stopped by the corona
Corona restrictions and new laws from Beijing have in principle banned the political opposition behind the 2019 protests.
Like many in the democracy movement today, Leticia instead devotes herself to writing letters and sending everyday items such as towels, groceries and comics to friends in prison.
She also goes to many trials, or waits outside the courthouse when they are not allowed to enter the courtroom due to restrictions.
On Friday, she waited outside the trial of 25-year-old To Kai-wah, who was sentenced to five and a half years in prison yesterday.
It is among the longest prison sentences so far.
He was convicted of injuring two police officers, one he bit off a fingertip, and one whose hand he injured with an umbrella, according to the verdict.
- When it comes to the question of leaving Hong Kong or not ... No, I hope I can do more for this place right now, says Leticia Wong.
