A 20-year-old Hong Kong student was sentenced to three years and seven months in prison on Nov. 23, becoming the youngest activist to be jailed under the Beijing-imposed national security law.
The sentence was handed down three weeks after the student, Tony Chung, pleaded guilty to charges of secession and one count of money laundering. Despite the charges, Chung said at his Nov. 3 trial that he has a “clear conscience.”
