HONG KONG (AFP): A Hong Kong man was sentenced to jail on Friday after importing "seditious" children's books that portrayed the city's democracy supporters as sheep defending their village from wolves.
Following massive democracy protests in the Chinese city in 2019, authorities have revived a colonial-era sedition offence to jail dozens of residents, which critics have decried as political suppression.
