Hong Kong court rejects appeal by head of dissolved party over secession charge
A Hong Kong court has dismissed an appeal by the head of a now-dissolved pro-independence political party, ruling that minimum sentences apply to all conspiracy offences under the national security law even when the penalty is not explicitly provided. Advertisement The Court of Appeal on Tuesday handed down a judgment that rejected Joseph John's request to review his five-year jail sentence for conspiracy to incite secession through the publication of offensive content on the social media platforms of the Hong Kong Independence Party. The three presiding judges found the lower District Court correctly labelled the case as serious, warranting a jail term of at least five years for the 42-year-old under a two-tier sentencing regime. The appellate court set a benchmark over a contentious topic surrounding the Beijing-decreed legislation, which could affect the outcome of other proceedings, while also weighing in on a high-profile trial of 47 opposition activists. John, a UK resident who holds a Portuguese passport, was denied a full one-third reduction of his 6½-year sentence which would otherwise be awarded to defendants pleading guilty at the earliest opportunity. Advertisement The national security law stipulates a prison sentence of five to 10 years for a serious offence of inciting secession, but provides no express mechanism for penalising a conspiracy to commit the crime. Prosecutors levelled the charge by invoking the national security law and the colonial-era Crimes Ordinance, which outlines the principles for sentencing conspiracy offences. One requirement is that sentences should match the gravity of the substantive crime.

Judge says father, son duo broke law with rent-to-own contracts in Fayette, Greene counties
Channel 11 is learning new information in the case against a father-son landlord duo. A Fayette County Common Pleas Court order found that the pair acted illegally when dealing with 'rent-to-own' contracts and leases. Channel 11 has done multiple stories on the situation. PREVIOUS COVERAGE >>> Tenants accuse local father-son landlords of violating judge's order, trying to evict residents Joseph John and Joseph John II own more than 50 homes in Fayette and Greene Counties. According to a lawsuit by the Attorney General's Office, the Johns let homes fall into disrepair and charged unlawful late fees and interest rates. 'We have peace of mind knowing that we're going to have a house and the court is with us,' Todd Endsley said. We first spoke with him in January 2024. He's been involved in a 'rent-to-own' situation with the Johns since 2020. 'It's been a long process. You know, when you put your hard-earned money into a house and keep paying monthly not knowing if you're going to have a house,' he said. Endsley tells Channel 11 that he sunk his life savings into repairs. 'It ended [up with us] having to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy to put a stop to the Johns with his foreclosures and late fees and everything else.' Among the findings, the Fayette County Court ruling shows the Johns had been implementing an initial $25 late fee with $5 per day after that. They also required rent to be paid in cash and in person at the landlord's home. The court called that policy 'unconscionable and fraudulent.' According to the AG's Office, this ruling does not end the lawsuits against the Johns. 'There's still justice in America. No landlord should take advantage of a tenant.' Channel 11 did reach out to the Johns. Joseph John Sr. told us he could not comment under the advice of counsel. The Attorney General's Office is urging anyone who may have a 'rent-to-own' agreement with the Johns to come forward. Download the FREE WPXI News app for breaking news alerts.

Hong Kong judges challenge jailed political party chief's appeal argument
Two Hong Kong judges hearing an appeal by the head of a now-dissolved pro-independence political party have questioned his lawyer's argument that the national security law cannot be used for sentencing some conspiracy offences. Joseph John, 42, appeared before three Court of Appeal judges in the High Court on Friday to challenge his five-year jail sentence for conspiracy to incite secession. He admitted last year to circulating 42 posts on the Hong Kong Independence Party's social media platforms, which called for the placement of American and British troops in the city and the abolition of the Sino-British Joint Declaration. The agreement paved the way for Hong Kong's return to Chinese sovereignty in 1997. In sentencing, District Judge Ernest Lin Kam-hung set a starting point of 78 months imprisonment, but declined to award a full one-third discount to John as defendants in other criminal cases would have received. The judge instead reduced the sentence to five years, the statutory minimum for a serious offence of inciting secession. The Beijing-decreed legislation stipulates a maximum of 10 years imprisonment for inciting secession. It does not provide a mechanism for penalising a conspiracy to commit the same offence. Instead, conspiracy offences are punished in accordance with the colonial-era Crimes Ordinance.
