More pro-democracy youngsters jailed for rioting in Hong Kong as the judge calls demonstration an infringement to other people's freedom

Five people have been sentenced to up to four and a half years over rioting charges relating to a protest in Wong Tai Sin during the anti-extradition movement in 2019.

Handing down the sentences on April 4, 2022 Judge Ernest Lin said the defendants – aged 19 to 30 – had turned the district into a battlefield.

He questioned these pro-democracy youngsters' ideal, saying that they have "sacrificed other people’s freedoms for their own ideals.”

Three defendants were jailed for between four years and three months to four years and six months, while the two younger defendants, aged 22 and 19, were sentenced to a detention centre and a training centre respectively.

Around 10,250 arrests have been made in connection with the protests and unrest of 2019. The demonstrations eased in early 2020 due to the Covid-19 outbreak and Beijing’s national security law, which activists say has been used by police to crack down on the pro-democracy movement.

Research: Execution by organ procurement and Breaching the dead donor rule in China

In an academic paper published by Australia-based esearchers Matthew P. Robertson and Jacob Lavee in April 2022, the findings strongly suggest that physicians in the People's Republic of China (#PRC) have participated in executions by organ removal, breaching the #DeadDonorRule.

The study applies computational text analysis to conduct a forensic review of 2,838 papers drawn from a dataset of 124,770 Chinese-language transplant publications.

The algorithm searched for evidence of problematic declarations of brain death during organ procurement. The research team finds 71 reports where brain death could not have properly been declared, and these organ donors could only have been prisoners in China.
