Mentally Disabled Hong Kong Waiter Gets 28 Months for Inciting Subversion

A Hong Kong court sentenced a waiter with an intellectual disability, Chan Ho-hin, to two years and four months in prison for inciting subversion. The District Court said Chan had published 118 subversive messages between June 2024 and April 2025, including posts suggesting Taiwan could “liberate” Hong Kong and urging support for a pro-Taiwan political party. Prosecutors said his content promoted revolution to overthrow the Communist Party and violated the national security law. The judge noted Chan’s condition affected his moral judgment, though he still received a custodial sentence.
