A jailed university student in Hong Kong has lost his bid to reduce his five-year sentence over inciting secession
A jailed university student in Hong Kong lost his bid to reduce his five-year sentence for inciting secession in a landmark ruling by the city's top court Tuesday that will have a far-reaching impact on other cases brought under a Beijing-imposed national security law.
On Tuesday, judges at the top court unanimously dismissed the appeal and ruled that the minimum penalty of five years for those committing serious offences as stipulated by the security law is mandatory. The judges ruled the three conditions specified in Article 33 are exhaustive and the article does not accommodate guilty pleas.
