An unemployed 67-year-old man, Lam Kin-sik, receives a two-month jail term suspended for 24 months after pleading guilty to offences related to election interference. The case concerns his reposting of a social media message urging the Hong Kong public to boycott the 2025 Legislative Council election. Both outlets report that the sharing involved content originally posted by a fugitive, and that Lam reposted the material during the election period between October and December 2025, up to election day on December 7. According to reporting referencing the legal proceedings, the West Kowloon Court imposes the two-month sentence, then suspends it for 24 months. The charges fall under Hong Kong’s Elections (Corrupt and Illegal Conduct) Ordinance. The Hong Kong Free Press also notes that an ICAC press release states Lam admitted to inciting another person through the reshared post. The court’s suspended sentence means Lam does not serve the jail term unless he breaches conditions during the suspension period.
