NEW YORK -- In Hong Kong today, human rights lawyer Albert Ho, recipient of Human Rights First’s 2020 Roger Baldwin Medal of Liberty, received two concurrent jail sentences of 18 months for his involvement in a 2019 pro-democracy march.
He was one of four veteran activists to be sentenced for “inciting people to participate in an unlawful assembly” and for “organizing an unlawful assembly” on China National Day, October 1, 2019. He faces further charges in connection with the protests of 2019. Others charged with Ho were given jail sentences of up to 14 months.
"Sending Albert and the others to prison won’t silence dissent in Hong Kong. The international media attention these trials and convictions generate only bolster the image of the Hong Kong government as a repressive, authoritarian arm of the Beijing government,” said
