[Photo/Xinhua] The Hong Kong High Court on Friday sentenced the first person convicted under the National Security Law for Hong Kong to nine years in prison, saying that the defendant's preplanned act caused "grave harm" to society. Leon Tong Ying-kit, who displayed a flag with a secessionist slogan and rammed into police officers with a motorcycle during a protest last year, was sentenced to six-and-a-half years for inciting secession and eight years for terrorist activities.
