Hong Kong Court Sentences Father of Activist Under National Security Law

A Hong Kong court sentenced Kwok Yin-sang, father of pro-democracy activist Anna Kwok, to eight months in prison under the national security law for attempting to withdraw funds from an insurance policy linked to his daughter, who is wanted by authorities for alleged collusion with foreign forces. Kwok pleaded not guilty and did not testify. Anna Kwok criticized the conviction as unjust and described it as transnational repression, while the court emphasized the case's seriousness beyond family ties.
