Chu Kai-pong, 27, pleaded guilty to ‘act with seditious intent’ for displaying slogan: ‘Liberate Hong Kong, revolution of our times
A man in Hong Kong has pleaded guilty to sedition for wearing a T-shirt with a protest slogan, becoming the first person to be convicted under the city’s controversial national security law known as Article 23, passed in March.
Chu Kai-pong, 27, pleaded guilty to one count of “doing acts with seditious intent”.
Under the new security law, the maximum sentence for the offence has been increased from two years to seven years in prison and could even go up to 10 years if “collusion with foreign forces” is found to be involved.
The mighty CCP, with superpower ambitions, afraid of a t-shirt.
Cowardly cunts party
And China wonders why Taiwanese people don’t want anything to do with them :o
I get it. It might have been one of those suicide T-shirts that terrorists use.
first?
Under their new “security” law
Nah, Cygnus beat you by about 14 min.
(On a serious note, had you already heard about someone else being convicted under the new security law? It also sounds like they’re talking about how the sentence was increased from 2 years to 7-10 years.)
Wild because ccp is the first one operating with seditious intent on foreign soil
Man I know I guy over there that was just the best but he got screwed over trusting a professor to sponsor him here.
