[47-person Primary Election Case] No Sentence Reduction Confirmed Last Week; Fast Beat Says, “Expected That”

【初選47人案】上周確認未獲扣減刑期 快必稱「預咗㗎啦」

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.

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。

47-person case | 18 have served two-thirds of their sentences and could be released early if granted remission; judge says authorities will consider eight defendants’ remorse

47人案|18人完成三分二刑期 若獲獄中減刑有望早釋 官指8人具悔意信當局考慮

In the democratic camp primary election 47-person case, 45 convicted defendants were sentenced to between four years and two months and 10 years in prison. Based on the time already spent on remand and other factors, The Witness estimated that the defendants would be released between next year at the earliest and 2032 at the latest. Eighteen of them have already served two-thirds of their sentences and, if they receive remission for good conduct during imprisonment—by law, a maximum reduction of one-third—they could be released in the near term. Among those 18, eight—Kwok Ka-ki, Fan Kwok-wai, Wong Pak-yu, Ng Man-yi, Ho Sum Cheung, Au Nok-hin, Cheng Ao-hui and Yeung Hok-king—were described by the judge in the sentencing remarks as having shown genuine remorse and being unlikely to reoffend. The court “believes” the authorities will take this into consideration when assessing remission. After the implementation of Article 23, people serving sentences for national security offences will not receive remission unless it is established that doing so would not be contrary to national security. Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu has said that “if someone has committed a serious offence involving endangering national security, normally they will not receive a sentence reduction”, describing this as “the general practice”.

民主派初選 47 人案,45 名罪成被告判囚 4 年 2 個月至 10 年,《法庭線》按已還押日子等推算,被告將最早於明年、最遲至 2032 年出獄,而當中 18 人已完成三分之二刑期,若他們在服刑期間,獲獄中行為良好減刑(按例最多減三分之一),有望於短期內獲釋。 該 18 人之中,郭家麒、范國威、王百羽、吳敏兒、張可森、朱凱廸、岑敖暉及楊岳橋 8 人獲法官在判詞指具真誠悔意、重犯機會低,法庭「相信」當局在衡量減刑時會予以考慮。 「23 條」實施後,犯國安罪服刑者除非獲信納不會不利於國安,否則不獲獄中減刑。特首李家超曾稱,「如果犯了涉及危害國家安全的嚴重罪行,正常來說都不會獲得減刑」,又形容是「一般做法」。

Denied one-third sentence reduction after admitting National Security Law offence; Lui Sai Yu granted final appeal leave for Aug 9 hearing

認違國安法不獲三分一減刑 呂世瑜獲終院批出上訴許可 排期8.9審理

PolyU student Lui Sai Yu was accused of using a Telegram channel in 2020 to incite Hong Kong independence and sell weapons to incite violence. In April 2022, he pleaded guilty to “inciting others to secede from the country”. The court initially reduced his sentence from five and a half years’ imprisonment to three years and eight months. However, the prosecution argued that sentencing was subject to the minimum sentence for offences under the National Security Law, which provides that offenders in serious cases must be sentenced to “five years or more”. Judge Amanda Jane Woodcock subsequently sentenced the defendant to five years’ imprisonment. Lui Sai Yu previously appealed against the sentence, but the appeal was dismissed by the Court of Appeal. His application to the Court of Appeal for a certificate to appeal to the Court of Final Appeal was granted. On Tuesday (the 16th), the Court of Final Appeal dealt with his application for leave to appeal out of time. Three judges of the Court of Final Appeal granted leave to appeal on whether the requirement for a fixed-term sentence of five years or more is mandatory, and whether mitigating grounds outside the statutory provisions may be used to reduce a sentence. The case is listed for hearing on August 9.

理大男生呂世瑜被指 2020 年在 TG 頻道煽動港獨及售武煽暴,2022 年 4 月承認「煽動他人分裂國家」罪,原獲法庭由判囚 5 年半減刑至 3 年 8 個月。惟控方指,判刑受《國安法》罪行的最低刑期所限,情節嚴重者須「處 5 年以上」,法官胡雅文改判被告監禁 5 年。 呂世瑜早前不服刑罰提上訴,被上訴庭駁回,他向上訴庭申請上訴至終院的證明書獲批,周二(16 日)在終院處理逾時上訴許可申請。3 名終院法官批准他就「5 年以上有期徒刑的規定是否屬強制性」、「是否容許條文以外的求情理由而作出減刑」提出上訴,案件排期 8 月 9 日審理。
