HONG KONG -- Hong Kong activist Tony Chung was sentenced on Tuesday to three years and seven months' imprisonment in the first judgment for a person pleading guilty under the city's national security law.
Chung, founder of the pro-Hong Kong independence group Studentlocalism, has been in custody since his arrest in October 2020 at a coffee shop across the street from the U.S. consulate general, where he reportedly intended to seek asylum.
