Hong Kong Court Sentences Three to Prison for Bomb Plots

In Hong Kong, three people have been sent to jail for planning to set off bombs.

One person, the main planner, got 18 years, while the other two got a little less.

The bombs were planned in 2019 and 2020.

They were meant to go off in a hospital, on a train, and near a parking lot.

A group claimed responsibility, saying they wanted medical workers to strike and borders to close due to Covid.

The judge said the main person showed no regret, and that the court needed to make sure people are deterred from committing these acts.

The three people smiled as the judge announced their sentences.
