HONG KONG: A Hong Kong teenager became the youngest person so far to plead guilty to rioting during 2019's huge protests on Wednesday , as he admitted throwing a petrol bomb at police when aged just 14.

The judge accepted advice from the city's correctional services and sent the 16-year-old boy to a detention centre, an alternative to prison for young offenders.The period of detention will be decided by the correctional services, with a minimum duration of one month and a maximum of half a year. The teen, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was 14 years old at the time of his arrest in November 2019.

He was convicted of rioting and arson after pleading guilty and admitting throwing a petrol bomb towards the police under the instruction of others. "The court must make a balance between society's interests and helping young offenders," District Judge Ernest Lin ruled, as he sent the boy to a detention centre.

//The teen, who cannot be named for legal reasons, was 14 years old at the time of his arrest in November 2019.// What were you doing at 14? This teen fought for freedom. Not even one PoliceBrutality prosecuted, only citizens performing civil duty under a totalitarian regime.

Very weird scenario whereby the HK security law was passed in June 2020 and can claw back to a violation of that law for 2019. Not supporting the protest nor the riot, but how can you justify to prosecute the accused based on an act that was not illegal before the law was passed?

Wonderful news. Jail for life

While HKPolice or CCP supporters killing people are free from charge

HongKongers are defending our fundamental rights and freedoms. Our sense of justice will not be impaired by the ruling of the kangaroo court. HongKong judges are traitors of the common law, which demands respect for democratic society. StandWithHongKong

I cannot imagine a 14 year old youth riot. HongKong
