AI Summary:
Jackie Chen was part of a group of social workers who often carried a loudspeaker seeking to mediate between police and protesters during the social unrest. She was freed at her first trial in September 2020, but the secretary of justice appealed and a court ordered a retrial by another judge. The maximum sentence for rioting in Hong Kong is 10 years, but the sentences at the district court are capped at seven years. Chen could also lose her license. The 2019 protests were sparked by a proposed extradition law that would have allowed criminal suspects to be sent to the mainland for trial.
