On 17 August 2017, three Hong Kong pro-democracy activists, Alex Chow, Nathan Law and Joshua Wong, were given prison sentences by the Court of Appeal for their roles in a protest at the Civic Square in front of the Central Government Complex in Tamar, Admiralty, on 26 and 27 September 2014. The events at the Civic Square helped set off massive pro-democracy protests, sometimes referred to as the Umbrella Movement, which lasted until police cleared the last of the protest sites in December 2014.

重奪「公民廣場」行動,是2014年9月26日晚上,由香港專上學生聯會和學民思潮發起衝入政府總部東翼迴旋處(坊間稱之為「公民廣場」)的公民不服從行動。在這之前,香港專上學生聯會和學民思潮已經發動2014年香港學界大罷課,進而要求實施真普選。其中罷課學生反對香港特別行政區政府向全國人民代表大會提交的政治改革報告,爭取2017年香港特別行政區行政長官選舉的「公民提名」、廢除香港立法會功能組別,並且要求全國人民代表大會撤回8月31日就2016年及2017年香港政治制度改革的決議。在罷課集會結束後不久,學民思潮召集人黃之鋒突然號召學生衝入「公民廣場」,與此同時香港專上學生聯會事先部署的成員亦展開突襲行動。 集會人士隨即兵分兩路分別推開香港立法會停車場出入口大門,或者經由立法會綜合大樓旁的通道,攀越3公尺高的圍欄進入已經被香港特別行政區政府封鎖的「公民廣場」。與此同時,抗議學生除了重申先前的罷課訴求外,亦宣布對於行政署突然興建鐵欄以圍封政府總部「公民廣場」的不滿,要求重新開放「公民廣場」予以公眾集會。儘管有約百名學生和市民越過政府總部圍欄再次佔領「公民廣場」,不過在這過程中黃之鋒等13名參與行動人士則遭到警方逮捕。儘管警方多次使用胡椒噴霧嘗試驅離現場示威人士,大量原先參與罷課集會的市民保護廣場內的學生,試圖反包圍現場警方並且阻絕增援警力進入。

On 17 August 2017, three Hong Kong pro-democracy activists, Alex Chow, Nathan Law and Joshua Wong, were given prison sentences by the Court of Appeal for their roles in a protest at the Civic Square in front of the Central Government Complex in Tamar, Admiralty, on 26 and 27 September 2014. The events at the Civic Square helped set off massive pro-democracy protests, sometimes referred to as the Umbrella Movement, which lasted until police cleared the last of the protest sites in December 2014. The three had originally been convicted and ordered to perform community service or, in the case of Chow, given a suspended sentence. The government appealed their sentences and successfully pursued harsher punishments on the grounds that their crime involved a large-scale unlawful assembly with a high risk of violence. The trio's imprisonment was applauded by the pro-Beijing camp but decried by pro-democracy figures in Hong Kong as well as international politicians and human rights advocates, who have called the activists Hong Kong's first prisoners of conscience, and alleged that the sentence is intended to intimidate other would-be activists. The sentence also disqualifies the three from running for office for five years, quashing their political aspirations in the near future. Wong had previously sought election but was barred due to his age, while Law, democratically elected to the Legislative Council in September 2016, was removed from office in July 2017 following a government challenge. The three activists were released on 6 February 2018 after a successful appeal against their custodial sentences at the Court of Final Appeal.

重奪「公民廣場」行動,是2014年9月26日晚上,由香港專上學生聯會和學民思潮發起衝入政府總部東翼迴旋處(坊間稱之為「公民廣場」)的公民不服從行動。在這之前,香港專上學生聯會和學民思潮已經發動2014年香港學界大罷課,進而要求實施真普選。其中罷課學生反對香港特別行政區政府向全國人民代表大會提交的政治改革報告,爭取2017年香港特別行政區行政長官選舉的「公民提名」、廢除香港立法會功能組別,並且要求全國人民代表大會撤回8月31日就2016年及2017年香港政治制度改革的決議。在罷課集會結束後不久,學民思潮召集人黃之鋒突然號召學生衝入「公民廣場」,與此同時香港專上學生聯會事先部署的成員亦展開突襲行動。 集會人士隨即兵分兩路分別推開香港立法會停車場出入口大門,或者經由立法會綜合大樓旁的通道,攀越3公尺高的圍欄進入已經被香港特別行政區政府封鎖的「公民廣場」。與此同時,抗議學生除了重申先前的罷課訴求外,亦宣布對於行政署突然興建鐵欄以圍封政府總部「公民廣場」的不滿,要求重新開放「公民廣場」予以公眾集會。儘管有約百名學生和市民越過政府總部圍欄再次佔領「公民廣場」,不過在這過程中黃之鋒等13名參與行動人士則遭到警方逮捕。儘管警方多次使用胡椒噴霧嘗試驅離現場示威人士,大量原先參與罷課集會的市民保護廣場內的學生,試圖反包圍現場警方並且阻絕增援警力進入。 同時大量聲援民眾也陸陸續續聚集在「公民廣場」以支援學生,最終警方決定部署防暴警察進駐政府總部。9月27日下午1時20分,警方實施清場行動而總共拘捕74人,年齡則介在16歲至58歲之間。不過隨後香港專上學生聯會與學民思潮仍號召民眾在當天晚上8時至11時發起集會,要求釋放遭到逮捕的學生。對此警方則在政府總部附近封鎖海富中心和中信大廈行人天橋與多條道路以阻攔市民聲援,並以妨礙公務為由使用胡椒噴霧驅散行人天橋上的市民。不過仍然有大批市民留守在添美道、龍匯道、立法會停車場和中信大廈附近與警方對峙,許多參與集會的民眾市民亦自行準備保護措施,避免受到警方胡椒噴霧的攻擊。 當天晚上,大台表示不包含反包圍警方的群眾,總共有超過50,000人參與集會;後來因為場外反包圍警察人數眾多,香港專上學生聯會宣佈修正參與人數至80,000人。在集會結束後仍然有許多示威群眾留守而未散去,爾後同樣爭取普遍選舉的大型政治抗爭運動讓愛與和平佔領中環,提早在9月28日凌晨1時40分宣佈正式啟動。稍後9·28催淚彈驅散行動引發大量民眾不滿,導致佔領規模擴大至銅鑼灣、旺角等其他地區,進而演變成雨傘革命。不過由於公民不服從行動在重奪「公民廣場」行動中已經展開,因此也有傳播媒體把這行動歸入雨傘革命內。
