HONG KONG: The mastermind of a bomb plot targeting Hong Kong police has been jailed for 23 years and 10 months, while the leader of the “Dragon Slaying Brigade”, the team behind the thwarted 2019 plan, has been handed a sentence of 13½ years in prison.
Madam Justice Judianna Wai-ling Barnes on Thursday (Nov 14) at the High Court sentenced seven defendants in connection with the plot to plant two bombs in Wan Chai on December 8, 2019, at the height of the months-long anti-government protests.
