He said he did not have any seditious intent when distributing the papers from his 13th-floor flat at On Tat Estate, Kwun Tong.
His lawyer said Wong lost his full-time job and had been working part-time following the anti-government protests in 2019 and subsequently the pandemic.

“[Wong] built up resentment but did not know how to control the anger,” the lawyer said.
The court heard the defendant wrote messages calling for the murder of police officers, judges and mainland residents.
