A man who was among 12 crime suspects caught during an attempt to travel to Taiwan by speedboat in 2020 was jailed for three years and 10 months by the District Court on Tuesday.
Tang Kai-yin, 34, had earlier admitted perverting the course of justice through the escape bid, as well as possessing articles with intent to destroy or damage property during the 2019 protests.
