Then Chow Hang-tung has not given up! She continues her fight against injustice in Hong Kong and has filed her appeal against subversion sentence!
While our faith in the legal "system" in Hong Kong is non-existent, her determination to keep fighting is an inspiration.

Lastly, one of the legacies of the 1976 coup in Thailand is the greater penalties for Lèse-majesté offences. This still effects our Thai friends & allies to this day as can be seen from the upcoming court cases list for the next 11 days from TLHR

Another Lèse-majesté conviction in Thailand where the court has interpreted the law to include not just the current monarch but every monarch since 1782... the entire Chakri Dynasty. Yikes

Jatupat Boonpattararaksa and Atthapol Buapat have been sentenced to 3 & 2 years respectively

Excellent explainer from Thai Lawyers for Human Rights & @fidh-official.bsky.social on the Lèse-majesté law in Thailand.
"The unsayable" is a great explainer on why the law & its use, enforcement & targeting is so problematic.

One of the impacts still felt today of the 1976 coup was the regime increased the penalty for section 112 (Lèse-majesté) from a maximum of 7 years to 3-15 years per count
Today at least 52 people are jailed under section 112 & many more for other "political crimes"
