Current classification
FORMER PRISONER / HISTORICAL CASE — sentenced in April 2019 to eight months’ imprisonment; not classified as currently imprisoned on this case.
Case record
Shiu Ka-chun was one of the Umbrella Nine. He was sentenced on April 24, 2019 to eight months’ imprisonment in the public-nuisance-related prosecution arising from the 2014 movement. The present archive treats that as historical imprisonment rather than a current-prisoner status.
Evidence and provenance
This archive separates present custody from historical arrest, conviction, suspended sentence, fine, release or appeal status. It does not project release dates from sentence arithmetic and does not convert an administrative or ordinary criminal conviction into a National Security Law conviction unless the record supports that characterization.
