The applicants were found to be 15 years old and therefore 'young persons' under the Juvenile Offenders Ordinance; accordingly the appropriate disposal was committal to a place of detention under section 15 (maximum six months) rather than 2 years' imprisonment, and the Court allowed the appeals and ordered discharge pending repatriation arrangements.
