Hong Kong man sentenced for wearing seditious T-shirt
ai generated text
Chu Kai-pong, a 27-year-old individual, was sentenced to 14 months in prison under the new national security law for wearing a T-shirt with a protest slogan deemed capable of inciting secession. The incident occurred on June 12, the anniversary of clashes between police and pro-democracy demonstrators five years earlier. Chu was arrested at a subway station while wearing a mask with the initials "FDNOL", which is another protest slogan. He pleaded guilty to "acts with seditious intent" and faced a maximum sentence of up to seven years in prison.
The defendant used a symbolic day to incite others to commemorate the unrest and try to revive the idea of the unrest, which poses a great risk to the social order, and the circumstances are not minor.
If the law does not intervene early and allows individual sedition to occur, it will eventually lead to chaos in the society again.
