A 69-year-old Hong Kong man received an eight-month prison sentence for trying to access his daughter’s insurance funds. His daughter is a wanted pro-democracy activist living in Washington who leads an advocacy group.
HONG KONG – A Hong Kong judge handed down an eight-month prison term Thursday to a 69-year-old man whose daughter is a prominent democracy activist now living in the United States.
Kwok Yin-sang was convicted of violating Hong Kong’s national security law when he tried to cancel his daughter’s insurance policy and access the money. The court found him guilty earlier this month of “attempting to deal with, directly or indirectly, any funds or other financial assets or economic resources” that belonged to someone considered an “absconder” under local security laws.
This marks the first time anyone has been charged and found guilty of this particular violation. Kwok had entered a not guilty plea and chose not to take the stand during his trial.
His daughter, Anna Kwok, currently serves in a leadership role with the Hong Kong Democracy Council, an advocacy organization based in Washington. She is among 34 overseas activists that Hong Kong national security authorities are seeking to arrest.
Authorities have accused Anna Kwok of working with foreign powers against Hong Kong’s interests, and law enforcement has put up a reward of HK$1 million, equivalent to about $128,000, for information leading to her capture.
