The District Court of Hong Kong has handed down prison sentences of up to 38 months to two individuals diagnosed with autism for their participation in a group advocating for the city's independence from China. Judge Ernest Lin Kam-hung determined that 27-year-old courier Chan Tai-sum and 25-year-old waiter Ng Chi-tung were active members of the Taiwan-based Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union. The court proceedings revealed that the pair collaborated on a comprehensive strategy to promote secessionist activities between November 2024 and July 2025. Following the judicial review of their involvement in the group's operations, the judge finalized the sentencing for both defendants.
