Prominent Hong Kong student protest leader banned from volatile site
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}A Hong Kong court has banned a high-profile student leader from going near the site of a now-cleared pro-democracy protest camp, as the movement enters a third month.
Joshua Wong, an 18-year-old who has become the most prominent of Hong Kong's protest leaders, was also given bail on Thursday and his case adjourned until January 14.
Wong was among a group of protesters arrested during an operation by authorities the day before to clear the protest site in the volatile Mong Kok neighborhood.
