Hong Kong court jails two autistic men up to 38 months for secession plot

Hong Kong's District Court sentenced two men with autism to up to 38 months for their role in the Taiwan-based Hong Kong Democratic Independence Union, a pro-independence group. The judge found they devised a 'full plan' for secession between November 2024 and July 2025. This continues Hong Kong's national security enforcement pattern, with the autism diagnosis a notable factor in sentencing.
