Chan set free after 6 months
Print Edition
THE son of kung fu star Jackie Chan was yesterday released from a Beijing prison after serving a six-month term for drugs offenses.
Jaycee Chan, who like his father has worked as an actor and singer, was detained in August and charged with providing a venue for others to use drugs after police found 100 grams of marijuana at his home in Beijing.
He had already spent five months in prison when he was sentenced in January after pleading guilty to the crime.
The 32-year-old was set free early yesterday morning, his management M’Stones International said in a statement.
Chan and the company will hold a press conference today at which the star will “formally apologize and explain to the public,” it said.
At least 10 locally known stars were detained on drugs charges last year.
Experts said the arrests were part of a wider campaign to promote morality. Chinese authorities have also targeted prostitution and the illegal drugs trade over the past year.
Jaycee Chan has featured in several films but not yet won the acclaim earned by his father, one of Asia’s best-known actors with a string of Hollywood hits to his name.
