1. This was an appeal against a sentence of 12 months for remaining in Hong Kong without the authority of the Director of Immigration and possession of a forged travel document. The sentence was a proper sentence but as it has been discovered, since the sentence was passed, that the Appellant is pregnant, I allowed the appeal so that she could be released immediately.
