Hong Kong: court broadens notion of “sedition”. Pro-democracy radio host Tam Tak-chi was sentenced to 40 months in prison.
Judges rejected his appeal, ruling that it was not necessary to establish an intent to incite violence to convict him of sedition. It comes at a time when the Hong Kong executive is working on a second national security law, which punishes new offenses - such as treason, insurrection and espionage - and also plans to impose heavier penalties on " sedition" crimes.
