Student leaders including the teenage face of the pro-democracy movement, Joshua Wong, were charged by police on Friday as Hong Kong authorities target prominent figures who spearheaded mass rallies.

"I was held for three hours and I was arrested on charges of calling for, inciting and participating in an unauthorised assembly," Wong, 18, said at the police headquarters.

Three other student leaders face similar charges. All have been released.
