A pro-democracy activist - who threw an egg at the Financial Secretary, John Tsang, in December last year -- has been given a three-week jail term.But Derek Chan had his bail extended after his lawyer informed the court that he will appeal.

In passing sentence, Magistrate So Wai-tak said the accused had shown no remorse - as he had insisted he had done nothing wrong and he did not agree to a Community Service Order.

Mr Chan, who's the Secretary-General of the League of Social Democrats, was found guilty of common assault two weeks ago.

The offence took place when Mr Tsang and the Chief Executive, CY Leung, were attending a community forum in North Point.
