Briefing Summary

Ronson Chan Ron-sing, a former chairman of the Hong Kong Journalists Association, has been ordered to begin serving a five-day jail sentence after losing his appeal. The conviction stems from his refusal to present his identity card to police during a stop-and-search procedure nearly four years ago. On Friday, Deputy Judge Lily Wong Sze-lai dismissed Chan's appeal at the High Court and immediately ordered him into custody. Chan had been sentenced to five days in jail in 2023 after a magistrate found him guilty of obstructing a police officer.
