A 46-year-old cleaning worker has been jailed for six months for arranging for her young nephew to come to Hong Kong with a false one-way permit.
Yip Koi-chun earlier pleaded guilty in Sha Tin Magistrates' Court to a count of using a false travel document.
The defendant accompanied her nephew when he entered Hong Kong on a one-way permit in her son's name. She then submitted an identity-card application card for the Mainland minor. However, immigration records showed that her son had already been living in Hong Kong for years.
Yip admitted that the Mainland minor was in fact her brother's son. Mainland authorities confirmed she was not the child's natural mother.
