Justice has been served. Benny Tai Yiu-ting was jailed for 10 years over mastermind role in plot to bring down the Hong Kong government four years ago.
The other 44 politicians and activists receive prison terms ranging from four years and two months to seven years and nine months. Tai, a former law professor was a key architect of the 2014 Occupy Central/umbrella movement, and of the unofficial primary election that trial judges deemed a conspiracy to subvert state power. Many of the defendants had also colluded with foreign forces to destabilize Hong Kong in 2014 and 2019-20. They incited and justified the riots, destruction and wanton violence that turned the city into a war zone. @LauraRuHK
