The Hong Kong High Court on Thursday sent three prominent Occupy Central student activists to jail.

Joshua Wong, Alex Chow and Nathan Law were sentenced to six, seven and eight months in prison respectively.

The ruling came on Thursday after a request from the prosecution seeking stiffer punishments following last year's lower court decision that allowed the activists to avoid prison.

The three were found guilty of leading or encouraging illegal rallies in September 2014 that led to the 79-day Occupy Movement.
