Need For Severity REVENUE

"Both these men were acting on behalf of an abominable organisation calling itself the *Overseas Youth Action Organisation,' and which is engaged in blackmailing and terroris- ing restaurants in Hong Kong by threatening to bomb them. Fortunately, owing to the co- operation between the Police in Canton and the Police in Hong Kong, this organisation is being crushed, but it is very necessary that when anybody helping it comes before the Courts, he be dealt with with the utmost severity."

These remarks were made by Sir Henry Blackall,

Chief Justice, yesterday when he passed sen- tences of 18 and 10 years imprisonment with hard labour on Li Chu and Chan Piu (alias Li Kwok-kong) respectively.
