A Hong Kong court sentenced a man to 14 months in prison for wearing a T-shirt with protest slogans, marking the city’s first use of a new national security law to punish people accused of endangering the Chinese state.

Chu Kai-pong received the sentence Thursday at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts after he pleaded guilty earlier to committing an act with a seditious intention, local broadcaster Commercial Radio reported. The offense carries as long as 10 years in jail under the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance passed in March.
