HONG KONG, Feb 26 (Reuters) - A Hong Kong court on Thursday sentenced the father of a wanted pro-democracy activist to eight months in prison under the city’s national security law after he attempted to terminate her insurance policy and withdraw the funds.
Kwok Yin-sang, 69, was found guilty on February 11 for "attempting to deal with, directly or indirectly, any funds or other financial assets or economic resources" belonging to an "absconder" under the city's national security law. He is the first person to be charged and convicted with the offense.
