Hong Kong man jailed for T-shirt protest slogan

A Hong Kong man has become the first person to be sentenced to prison for sedition under the city’s new national security law for wearing a T-shirt with a once-popular protest slogan.

Chief Magistrate Victor So on Thursday sentenced Chu Kai-pong, 27, to 14 months’ jail under tougher sentencing laws created by the city’s legislature in March.
