- Amina_Bokhary_controversy abstract "The Amina Bokhary controversy occurred in Hong Kong in 2010 involving the assault conviction of a wealthy woman from a well-connected political family. Amina Mariam Bokhary, 32, received a non-custodial sentence and a one-year driving ban following an incident in the aftermath of a road traffic accident when she struck several police officers. As she had committed similar offences in 2001 and 2008, her resulting probation was seen by some commentators as too lenient.The perceived leniency in her sentence provoked an uproar in Hong Kong for alleged preferential treatment. In particular, the presiding judge caused an uproar when he said in his judgment that Bokhary had "a unblemished background and was born into a good family with caring parents [and] an outstanding academic record". The comment highlighted the public perception of widening inequality and increasing disparities in the balance of political power between different social classes in Hong Kong. The judge came under pressure to reconsider his sentencing, but he declined to amend it upon review. Pundits also blamed the police for charging her with an offence carrying a lesser penalty; the Department of Justice was forced to appeal her sentence.Opinion polls carried out indicated that the public's confidence in the judiciary and the impartiality of the courts had been shaken in light of the incident. In the end, Bokhary was jailed for six weeks in December for being in breach of five out of seven conditions of her probation order. On appeal, her driving ban was further extended by two years.".

- Amina_Bokhary_controversy quote "A slap is an insult to the police officer and is therefore serious enough to warrant an immediate custodial sentence. The message can't be clearer, but this court cannot ignore the reason why she behaved the way she did.' 'Any reasonable person wouldn't [slap an officer] in front of so many other officers. [Her] behaviour was consistent with the mental illness she was, and is still, suffering. 'The 2001 incident was the underlying reason for the development of her illness ... Up to 2008, the defendant still lacked insight into her illness. It was unfortunate she was ordered to perform community service rather than [being given a] probation order.' 'The public is of the view that the court favours rich people and people with a prominent background ... [but] the focus of this case is not whether the defendant is rich or poor, [but] ... good or bad [by] nature, [and] whether or not he or she would repeat the offence.' '[Sending the defendant to] prison for a few months would air the grievances of the public, but would destroy the rest of the life of the defendant.'".
