A Hong Kong court has thrown out an appeal by a Chinese man to cut his prison term short because he can't get spicy food behind bars, a local newspaper reported on recently. Law Kwok-hing, 32, told the court he had a hard time adjusting to life in prison because dishes from his native Hunan province were not available, the South China Morning Post reported. 'I am a native of Hunan and I like spicy food, but there is no spicy food here,' the paper quoted him as saying. It said Law, a garment worker, had been convicted five times in Hong Kong since 1990 for offences including theft, giving false information to police and illegally staying in the territory. His latest conviction came in July, when he was sentenced to 20 months in jail for stealing. |
