Five teenagers have been handed three years detention for attempting to overthrow the Beijing Government

All of the teenagers were associated with a pro-Hong Kong independence group and caught on social media planning a “bloody revolution”

While the Judge admitted “age and immaturity” contributed to their actions, he said the training centre was an appropriate punishment.

This marks the first time the sweeping national security law has been enforced on anyone under 18 in Hong Kong.

The law was initially brought in to contain any protestors who defied the Chinese Government.
