A jailed university student in Hong Kong has lost his bid to reduce his five-year sentence over inciting secession.
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.
One condition under that article is that offenders voluntarily stopped committing the offence or voluntarily and effectively forestalled its consequence during the process.
In sentencing him last year, a judge at a lower court originally planned to jail Lui for 44 months after giving him a one-third sentence reduction due to his guilty plea. But she amended the sentence after the prosecution argued the crime Lui committed was of serious nature and therefore the minimum penalty should be five years.Lui was not a prominent pro-democracy activist in the city. He was the fourth person jailed under the sweeping security law.
The protests waned with the arrests and exiles of democracy activists, the COVID-19 pandemic and the security law.
