J U D G M E N T
1. This was an appeal against a sentence of nine months imposed for possession of a false identity card and remaining in Hong Kong without the authority of the Director of Immigration. This was another case involving a pregnant lady who had since given birth to the child, which had been in custody with the appellant until the present time. I need not repeat the opinion I expressed about these matter in an appeal I heard just the other day, R. v. Lam Kuen Hung, MA1027 of 1995. Suffice it for me to say that on humanitarian grounds I thought it right to allow this appeal, and to reduce the sentence so that this lady could be released immediately.
