47人案｜無綫播趙家賢出獄後專訪 稱由修例風波至初選「背後有人操控」
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.
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。

【初選47人案】民建聯抗議美國抹黑 領事館未有派代表接信
The 47-person case was sentenced yesterday (19th). In the early hours of today (20th), the US government issued a statement condemning the sentences as targeting Hong Kong democracy leaders, demanded that the Hong Kong government unconditionally release all political prisoners, and announced a new round of visa restrictions on officials related to the Hong Kong National Security Law. DAB vice-chairmen and Legislative Council members Holden Chow Ho-ding and Chan Hok-fung, together with more than 10 other DAB members, protested outside the US Consulate this afternoon, condemning US interference in China’s internal affairs and chanting slogans. The protest lasted about 15 minutes, with police officers on standby. Chan Hok-fung said they had prepared a petition letter, but no consulate representative came to receive it; the letter was ultimately placed on the ground outside the consulate.
A group of 13 DAB members protested outside the US Consulate this afternoon. They unfurled a banner reading “Strongly condemn the United States for smearing Hong Kong’s rule of law and interfering in China’s internal affairs”, and held up slogans including “Enough is enough! Say NO to US interference” and “Justice must not be trampled on by foreign countries”.

民建聯一行13人今日下午到美國領事館外示威，他們展開印有「強烈譴責美國 抹黑香港法治 干涉中國內政」的橫幅，又舉起「Enough is enough！Say NO to US interference」、「司法不容外國踐踏」等標語。

【初選47人案】范功健承認做「蛇頭」 反指「這叫人力資源不是嗎？」
InMedia recently reported that a “queueing gang” in the 47-person primary election case had collected HK$800 in cash to occupy court queue numbers, and identified one of the “queueing organisers” as Fan Kung-kin, who was allegedly linked to the pro-establishment organisations S.P.C. Youth Entrepreneurship Association and S.P.C. International Young Talents Exchange Association. There has since been further development: the S.P.C. International Young Talents Exchange Association issued a statement distancing itself from Fan, saying that he had resigned from all positions a year and a half ago and that his personal actions were unrelated to the association. Fan wrote on his personal Facebook page that as the “boss” was willing to pay wages, “I arranged people to queue—isn’t this called human resources?” InMedia successfully contacted Fan by telephone. In his first response to the incident, he openly admitted to acting as a “queueing organiser”.
《獨媒》日前報導初選47人案「排隊黨」收取800元現金霸法庭籌號事件，亦找出其中一名「蛇頭」是范功健，涉與建制組織「S.P.C.青創家協會」與「S.P.C.國際年青才俊交流協會」有關。事件再有進展，「S.P.C.國際年青才俊交流協會」發聲明撇清與范的關係，指對方一年半前已卸任所有職務，其個人行為與協會無關。范功健在個人Facebook直言，「老闆」願意支付人工，「我就安排人手排隊，這叫人力資源不是嗎？」《獨媒》成功以電話聯絡范功健，他首次回應事件，對做蛇頭直認不諱。

【初選47人案】記者通宵排隊獲800元 有人收走大疊籌號保管
The trial of the Primary Election 47 case opened last Monday, and “queueing syndicates” have appeared almost every day. After obtaining queue tickets, they leave, allegedly preventing ordinary members of the public from attending the hearings. Initium Media successfully contacted an organiser who advertised: “HK$800, and you don’t have to do anything.” The organiser required people to queue overnight for 12 hours until the court distributed tickets this morning, with the ticket handed over in exchange for payment. After the reporter applied for the “job”, the reporter was added to a WhatsApp group called “13/2 West Kowloon Elites Group”. Following several days of media reports on the incident, the organiser appeared wary and warned: “The police have been checking very strictly recently.” The organiser eventually arranged the exchange at Fu Cheung Estate, where the reporter saw someone taking away a large stack of queue tickets distributed that day for safekeeping.
初選47人案上周一開審，幾乎每日都出現「排隊黨」，取得籌號後便離開，疑阻止正常市民聽審。《獨媒》成功聯絡一名蛇頭，對方標榜「800蚊什麼都不用做」，通宵排隊12小時至今早法庭派籌，一手交籌一手交錢。記者應徵「工作」後被加入一個叫「13/2西九精英群」的WhatsApp 群組。連日傳媒報導事件，蛇頭顯得避忌，提醒「呢排差人check得好緊」，蛇頭最終安排在富昌邨交收，記者目擊有人將一大疊當日派出籌號保管。

One of the people managing the “13/2 West Kowloon Elites Group”, a queue-party group, is Fan Gongjian. The Stand News obtained a card belonging to Fan, showing that he is a director of the “S.P.C. Youth Entrepreneurship Association”, whose businesses include event coordination, KOL promotion, and stretching and bone-setting services. The website listed on the card links to the “International Young Talents Exchange Association”, whose founding aims are to “implement the development policy of ‘one country, two systems’ of the People’s Republic of China; uphold the administration of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region in accordance with the law”. When The Stand News contacted Fan for comment, he said, “I’m working,” before immediately hanging up.
