Liu Chung Yin, a 30-year-old who was named previously in court, is one of the two pilots terminated by Cathay Pacific Group, a source within the company told CNN on Wednesday. Liu's legal counsel confirmed the report to CNN as well.

Liu appeared at Eastern Magistrates Court on July 31, charged with rioting on July 28. He did not enter a plea at this stage of Hong Kong's legal process but his name, age and occupation as a pilot was disclosed in open court, as customary on first appearance.

The Magistrate charged Liu, among 44 other protesters.

A member of Liu's legal counsel, who did not wish to be named, told CNN that he was given an exemption to allow him to leave the country, to fulfill his role as a pilot. However, two weeks after the hearing, Liu was fired by the airline, along with another unnamed pilot.

Liu posted $128 USD bail, and must abide by a curfew — midnight to 6 a.m. local time — daily, and report to the police once a week.
