去年7月28日中西區爆發警民衝突，一對夫婦及一名女學生被控參與暴動，3人否認暴動罪，成為反修例事件中首宗需審訊暴動案件。案件今日在區域法院宣判，3人暴動罪不成立，交替控罪非法集結亦不成立，至於夫婦2人被控無牌管有一套無線電收發機就罪成。

Thirty-nine-year-old Henry Tong and his 42-year-old wife Elaine To, a couple who own a gym, and a 17-year-old female surnamed Lee were accused of taking part in a riot in Sheung Wan on July 28 last year.

The District Court acquitted the three defendants of rioting charges. The three were also not found guilty of the alternative charge of unlawful assembly.
