Current classification
HISTORICAL PROSECUTION — received a 16-month prison sentence suspended for two years in April 2019; this case did not place him in prison under that sentence.
Case record
Chu Yiu-ming, one of the Occupy Central co-founders, was convicted with the Umbrella Nine and received a 16-month sentence suspended for two years. The archive therefore distinguishes his conviction from actual imprisonment under that sentence.
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.
