Local media reported that the duo were Joshua Wong Chi-fung, head of the disbanded Demosisto, a separatist group advocating "Hong Kong independence," and opposition politician Tam Tak-chi.
The two have already been put in jail. Wong was sentenced to 13 and a half months in prison last month for besieging the police headquarters in June 2019, and Tam is awaiting trial behind bars for multiple offenses.
