A 27-year-old Hongkonger living in Japan who was charged for participating in the 2019 anti-extradition protests after returning to Hong Kong to see his sick mother was sentenced on March 20 to three years and nine months in prison for alleged rioting.
Large-scale protests broke out in Hong Kong in 2019 against a revised draft of the Fugitive Offenders Ordinance, which was aimed at allowing Hong Kong people to be extradited to mainland China for trial.
