Hong Kong leader John Lee limits early release eligibility for national security convicts under a new law.
Hong Kong leader John Lee has announced that individuals convicted of national security charges will no longer be eligible for early release based on good behaviour, under a new law enacted by the city's authorities. This change affects sentences imposed both before and after the new law's implementation. The new law also removes the possible one-third sentence reduction for prisoners convicted of crimes under the security law or other offences deemed as national security threats.
