The Mastermind Behind Hong Kong's First UN Anti-Terror Case

Ng Chi-hung received a nearly 24-year jail sentence for planning a bomb plot during 2019 anti-government protests in Hong Kong. This marks Hong Kong's first case under a UN anti-terror law. The case drew attention due to the law's invocation, following widespread protests and global scrutiny.

Ng Chi-hung was sentenced to 23 years and 10 months in jail after admitting guilt in a bomb plot foiled during 2019 anti-government protests in Hong Kong.

This case is notable as it is the first time the city's authorities invoked a United Nations anti-terrorism law, emphasizing its seriousness.

The operation intended to harm police officers, bringing attention to the extent of unrest and security measures post-2019's mass protests against an extradition bill.
