Another former leader of University of Hong Kong’s student union has been charged with obstruction for his alleged role in the siege of a university governing council meeting in January.

Former HKUSU external vice-president Colman Li Fung-kei, 21, received a summons for obstructing public officers in execution of their duty on Tuesday morning when he went to Western Police Station with a lawyer.
