Demosisto's chairman Ivan Lam was released on bail of HK$10,000 after appearing in Eastern Court on Tuesday in connection with a siege of police headquarters in June.



Lam was arrested at the airport after flying into Hong Kong earlier in the day.



He had been charged in his absence last Friday when the group's Joshua Wong and Agnes Chow were also arrested over the same alleged illegal assembly and were also given bail.



Lam's case was adjourned until November 8 and he was given a curfew between 8pm and 7am.



He was also told to report to police twice a week and not to leave Hong Kong, with the bail conditions similar to those given to Wong and Chow.
