The trial of an Occupy Central volunteer arrested for her role in a 2011 protest was adjourned yesterday as the defence sought alternative ways to resolve the controversial case.
Melody Chan Yuk-fung - who faces one charge of organising a public meeting against the Public Order Ordinance and another of taking part in an unauthorised assembly on July 1, 2011 - appeared in Eastern Court yesterday morning.
Her lawyer asked the court to adjourn the case for three to four weeks as they were in discussion with the prosecution on other ways to resolve the case.
The prosecutor raised no objections.
Principal Magistrate Bina Chainrai adjourned the case to July 3. She also allowed Chan's bail to be extended.
The issue of whether the charges against Chan, 26, would be changed or dropped was not addressed in court yesterday.
