Man sentenced 3 months in jail after attacking Pro-demoracy Activist, Magistrate, "He showed his love to society."
An eighty-year-old man had admitted to attacking pro-democracy activist 'long hair' Leung Kwok-hung in April 2020, claiming that he had been "enforcing justice for God", "punishing Leung and let him know he is not welcomed" and "Joshua Wong and Ted Hui will die, sooner or later." On Oct 14, he was sentenced to jail for 3 months and 6 days.
Magistrate Cheang Kei Hong had praised the man for "the love he has shown towards Hong Kong", and believed that he committed the crime because of differences in political opinions.
In the past, Cheang has convicted a person for owning a bag of wire tire and gave the person a sentence of 5 and a half months while refusing to grant bail. Another person in possession of 2 jars of spray paint was sentenced by Cheang to a 5 and a half month imprisonment.
