A Hong Kong court sentenced Kwok Yin-sang, the father of US-based activist Anna Kwok Fung-yee, to eight months in jail for attempting to cash out his daughter's insurance policy worth over HK$88,000. Anna Kwok, wanted for allegedly violating the national security law and having a HK$1 million bounty on her head, is accused of colluding with foreign forces. Kwok Yin-sang was convicted of violating the domestic national security law for attempting to cash out the AIA International policy in early 2023, which he had purchased for his daughter when she was a toddler. The defense argued that the father believed he had control over the funds and that the sentence amounted to collective punishment for his daughter's actions, but the court rejected this argument.
