Penalties not tough enough

July 29, 2013, Monday | Print Edition

Passengers said the penalties for offenders are far too lenient, unlike ones enforced in other international cities like Hong Kong and Tokyo.

 

In Shanghai, offenders face short-term detentions of five to 10 days if no solid evidence is provided against them, police said.

 

In a recent Hong Kong case, police said they had detained a man who was found taking pictures of a young Shanghai woman’s underpants in a subway station. The man faces up to a year in jail and a fine of HK$5,000 (US$644).
