Student Activist Tony Hon-Lam Chung Sentenced for 43 months in Jail over National Security Charges: "I have no regrets, I did nothing wrong"
On November 23, 2021, the District Court in Hong Kong sentenced the 20-year-old pro-democracy student activist Tony Hon-Lam Chung to jail for three years and seven months. He was charged under the #NationalSecurityLaw and convicted of "secession and money laundering."
Chung founded the now-disbanded pro-democracy student group #StudentLocalism in 2016.
Chung was accused of publishing "seditious messages" on social media and holding activities and protests with "secessionist intent" during the 2019 Anti-ELABMovement.
Chung's marks the third convicted case over the National Security charges and is the first person below 21 years old who is found guilty of violating the National Security Law.
In an interview before the sentence, Chung told Stand News that he had no regrets.
Chung decided to plead guilty only two weeks before the trial. He has been detained for more than one year since he was arrested in October 2020. "There is no other way to deal with the case under the current circumstances and the judicial system," Chung said.
On the day of the trial, Chung's voice was heard in the courtroom, "I plead guilty. I did nothing wrong."
Chung told the reporter that his baseline was not to "revamp" what he had said or done before. So, he told his lawyer not to plead for any lighter sentence. "I have done nothing wrong. I have no regrets," said Chung.
