Summary

Lo Kin Man, convicted of riot for his role in the Mong Kok civil unrest of February 2016, applied for leave to appeal against his sentence of 7 years' imprisonment. The Court considered whether the sentence was manifestly excessive and the proper approach to sentencing for riot offences. The application for leave to appeal against sentence was dismissed.
