Ivan Lam Long-yin (林朗彥) — Hong Kong Democracy Activist

Former chairman of Demosistō and co-founder of Scholarism.

Current status

2026 custody status requires fresh verification. Hong Kong Watch’s 2024 profile described him as remanded in custody in a national-security investigation; that older label is not treated here as proof of present custody in September 2026.

Case baseline

Previously served a seven-month sentence arising from a 2019 protest and was later arrested again in July 2023 in a national-security investigation.

Evidence and provenance

Hong Kong Watch — 2024 case baseline

This record separates historical detention from current custody. Free China does not infer present imprisonment or release dates from sentence arithmetic.
