The judge correctly applied the established 5-year starting point for an armed robbery where a knife was openly displayed, lawfully enhanced by six months because the applicant was a torture claimant whose offending affected the community and Hong Kong's reputation; after a one-third reduction for the guilty plea the resulting sentence of 3 years and 8 months was appropriate and there were no reasonably arguable grounds of appeal, so leave was refused.
