Hong Kong 47 case | TVB airs post-release interview with Andrew Chiu, who says someone was manipulating events from the extradition bill controversy to the primary election
民主派初選 47 人案中，選擇認罪、成為控方證人的趙家賢，被法庭裁斷為「首要分子」，經減刑後判監 7 年，早前有報道指他獲獄中減刑，成為案中首名提早獲釋的被告。《無綫》周一播出趙家賢出獄後的專訪，畫面所見趙明顯清減，旁白指他「瘦咗 60 磅」。
趙在訪問中回憶 2019 年，稱「修例風波去到暴亂，去到初選案，其實整體係一個套路，背後係有啲別有用心嘅人士 ，喺後面操控住佢」，又稱「當時鄧伯伯（指鄧小平），係好形象化咁樣講，民主嘅發展係要一步一步走，欲速則不達，2019 年正正就係咁樣」。
趙又稱，要為自己在初選案中「衝擊咗特區政府，以及係國家嘅憲制秩序」，向國家、香港及市民大眾誠摯道歉。
In the democratic primary election case involving 47 people, Andrew Chiu Ka-yin, who pleaded guilty and became a prosecution witness, was found by the court to be a “principal offender” and sentenced to seven years’ imprisonment after a sentence reduction. It was reported earlier that he had received a remission of his prison sentence, making him the first defendant in the case to be released early. TVB aired an interview with Chiu after his release on Monday. He appeared noticeably thinner, with the voice-over saying that he had “lost 60 pounds”.
Recalling 2019, Chiu said in the interview: “From the extradition bill controversy to the riots and then to the primary election case, it was actually all part of the same playbook. There were people with ulterior motives manipulating it behind the scenes.” He also said: “At the time, Uncle Deng [referring to Deng Xiaoping] put it very figuratively: the development of democracy has to proceed step by step; trying to achieve it too quickly will prevent its achievement. That was exactly what happened in 2019.”
Chiu also said he wanted to sincerely apologise to the country, Hong Kong and the general public for having “challenged the HKSAR Government and the country’s constitutional order” in the primary election case.

Assistant Solicitor Convicted of Helping Owen Chow Send Complaint Letter Without Authorisation; High Court Refuses Certificate for Appeal to Final Court
2023 年 5 月，因「47 人案」還押的鄒家成，被指未經授權下，透過律師寄出予申訴專員公署的投訴信，投訴懲教署損毀及拒絕其親友送入的兩本佛學書籍。鄒與一名女律師被裁定「將未經授權的物品攜離監獄」罪成，鄒判囚 3 日，律師罰款 1,800 元。
兩人不服提定罪上訴被駁回，鄒則獲改判罰款 1,800 元。涉案律師申請上訴至終院許可證明書，周二（14 日）在高等法院即日被駁回。司法機構網頁顯示，涉案律師已直接向終院再申請上訴許可，暫未排期聆訊。
In May 2023, Owen Chow Ka-shing, who was remanded in custody over the “47-person case”, was accused of sending, through a lawyer and without authorisation, a complaint letter to The Ombudsman alleging that the Correctional Services Department had damaged two Buddhist books and refused to accept them when they were sent in by his friends and relatives. Chow and a female lawyer were convicted of “taking unauthorised articles out of a prison”. Chow was sentenced to three days’ imprisonment, while the lawyer was fined HK$1,800.
Their appeals against conviction were dismissed, while Chow’s sentence was varied to an HK$1,800 fine. The lawyer involved applied for a certificate granting leave to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal, but the application was dismissed immediately at the High Court on Tuesday (14th). The Judiciary’s website shows that the lawyer has directly applied to the Court of Final Appeal again for leave to appeal; no hearing date has yet been set.

47涉組織及參與民主派初選，被控「串謀顛覆國家政權罪」，45名罪成被告去年11月判刑人民力量前副主席譚得志（快必）被判囚4年5個月。快必的社交媒站昨日發文，指早前經評估後，在上周收到「成績表」獲確認未獲扣減刑期。快必對結果表示「預咗㗎啦」，又稱「唔緊要」，因在獄中有很多書未看。快必最後稱，仍希望盡快出獄與朋友相聚。
譚得志目前在石壁監獄服刑，刑期尚餘20個月。他的社交媒站昨日發文，指數名中學同學在上周末前往探望，其中二人已近一年沒有見過快必，在見到他後感覺其瘦了不少，而且面色紅潤。快必就笑言，因為剛剛做完運動，所以面色紅紅地，並揭高上衣向中同展示肌肉，獲中同拍手讚好。
Forty-seven people were charged with conspiracy to subvert state power over organising and participating in the pro-democracy primary election. Forty-five convicted defendants were sentenced last November, including People Power former vice-chairman Tam Tak-chi (Fast Beat), who was sentenced to four years and five months in prison. In a post on his social media account yesterday, Fast Beat said that after an earlier assessment, he received a “report card” last week confirming that he would not receive a sentence reduction. He said of the result, “Expected that,” and added, “It doesn’t matter,” because he had many books in prison that he had not yet read. Fast Beat said he still hoped to be released as soon as possible to meet his friends.
Tam is currently serving his sentence at Shek Pik Prison, with 20 months remaining. In a post yesterday, his social media account said several of his secondary-school classmates visited him before the end of last weekend. Two of them had not seen Fast Beat for nearly a year and felt that he had become considerably thinner, while his complexion looked ruddy. Fast Beat joked that his face was red because he had just finished exercising, then lifted his shirt to show his muscles to his classmates, who applauded him.

In the democratic camp primary election 47-person case, 45 people were convicted of “conspiracy to subvert” and sentenced to imprisonment. Gwyneth Ho, who pleaded guilty and was sentenced to four years and three months, was released from Lo Wu Correctional Institution on Tuesday (19th). Ho was also convicted in a separate case of participating in an unauthorised assembly at a June 4 event in 2020 and sentenced to four months in prison. As a result, her total sentence was longer and she was not released until now.

The prosecution cited her signing the “With Ink, No Regrets” declaration and attending press conferences held by the protest camp, among other matters, and accused her of supporting the subversion plan.
Ho is a former Southern District councillor for the Tin Wan constituency. Her counsel said in mitigation that she had married in prison and hoped she could be released as soon as possible to spend time with her husband and build a family, describing her as being on the path to rehabilitation. Including Ho, 12 defendants have now been released. Based on the length of the sentences, Au Nok-hin is expected to be released later this year (see graphic in the article). Ho is understood to have returned home and reunited with family and friends.
