Group, some as young as 15 at time of alleged offence, detained for up to three years for ‘inciting others to subvert state power’
Five teenagers with a Hong Kong group advocating independence from Chinese rule were ordered by a judge to serve up to three years in detention at a correctional facility, for urging an “armed revolution” in a national security case.
The five, some of whom were aged between 15 and 18 at the time of the alleged offence, had pleaded guilty to “inciting others to subvert state power” through a group called Returning Valiant.
