The father of an exiled Hong Kong pro-democracy activist has been convicted in an insurance case on national security charges, in a verdict that has been criticised for setting a “dangerous precedent”.
Activist Anna Kwok’s 68-year-old father, Kwok Yin-sang, was arrested in April 2025 for trying to end her insurance policy and access funds from it. The policy, which he bought when Anna was a toddler, was worth nearly HK$90,000 (8,446).
