“Four former Hong Kong pro-democracy lawmakers were released from prison Tuesday after completing their sentences for allegedly attempting to overthrow the government of the special administrative region of China. Claudia Mo, 68; Kwok Ka-ki, 63; Jeremy Tan, 49; and Gary Fan, 58; pleaded guilty to being members of the so-called ‘Hong Kong 47’ group charged under a controversial National Security [sic] Law imposed by Beijing over organizing an unofficial primary ahead of 2020 elections in a bid to help pro-democracy parties win a majority in the legislature. … The four were all sentenced to four years and two months in prison in November but were freed due to time served since being arrested in 2021.” (04/29/25)
