The shot student Chow Pak-kwan, 23, and co-defendant Woo Tsz-kin, 22, were both found guilty of trying to snatch a police handgun and willfully obstructing an officer in August. Chow was also convicted of escaping from lawful custody. 

They were sentenced to six years' imprisonment by the District Court last month (Nov 30). 

According to documents, they have each filed an appeal against their conviction and sentence. Yet, no hearing has been scheduled by the judiciary to proceed their applications as shown on the website. 

When handing down sentences in the previous court session, judge Adriana Noelle Tse Ching slammed the “shameless and lawless” pair for “bullying” a lone policeman. 

She had also said earlier that it was reasonable for the cop to fire the shot as all four protesters surrounding him, including Chow and Woo, intended to confront him. 

The bullet fired into Chow damaged a kidney and his liver and crushed his renal vein. 

But Tse accused Chow of exaggerating his injuries and reprimanded him for saying surgery had been ineffective, as she cited medical records that Chow's condition had stabilized following additional and conservative, non-invasive treatment. 

She then put the two behind bars for six years as she pointed to a “lack of remorse.”
