Tonyee Chow Hang-tung, vice chairwoman of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China will appear in court on October 5, after she called on citizens to participate in an unauthorized June 4 assembly.

Chow appeared in the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts this morning. Chow pleaded not guilty to the charge. In defense, she also said "it is not a crime to mourn, and I plead not guilty."
The case has been adjourned to October 5. The trial is expected to last for two days and the prosecution will summon three witnesses to testify against her.

The case was first mentioned in court on July 2, and Chow had been remained in custody since then after the court denied her bail application.
She will apply for bail again on August 6.
