Trials? What crimes exactly? Lots better protesters to go after. You know. Ones that burn stuff and loot stuff.

It really sounds like trumped up charges.
They're getting off light, if anything.
The only thing trumped up was their movement. Lots of their members were yokel thugs from America.
Just further up the post I saw you commenting suggesting that you didn't know these guys blocked off an entire section of a city? Shouldn't you acquaint yourself with the situation to some degree before having an opinion on it?
But I heard opinions are as important as facts.

Nice whataboutism.
We can prosecute these idiots for their crimes while prosecuting other people for their crimes too.
I'm not saying they did less. I'm saying they did nothing.
The article makes it pretty clear what they're accused of doing. They also posted about it in tons of places and recorded themselves doing it, so as humans with eyes, ears, and brains, we can conclude that they actually did this.
So... yeah.
You should learn about anything, but maybe start with the actual crimes these actual halfwits did.
Yeah, it's not like they did real horrible crap like providing vaccines or telling kids that trans people exist.
On top of what the other guy said, a whole lot of those "protestors" frequently assaulted and harassed residents of the city. Oh, and a direct demand of the organizers was to overthrow the democratically elected government. So those crimes.
