On Jan. 7, a Hong Kong singer was sentenced to 52 months in jail for involvement in the 2019 pro-democracy movement in Hong Kong.
Lester Chong, a singer under contract with Sony Music Hong Kong, was among hundreds of people arrested during the Polytechnic University (PolyU) siege as part of the anti-extradition protests in mid-November 2019, which put a hold on his singing career.
