Current classification
FORMER PRISONER / SIX-MONTH SENTENCE
Case record
Marilyn Tang was arrested in March 2023 and initially released on bail. She later pleaded guilty to perverting the course of justice and on December 21, 2023 was sentenced to six months’ imprisonment. The offence was connected to evidence in the investigation of Elizabeth Tang; the conviction itself was not a National Security Law offence. This record is historical unless a newer verified custody event is established.
Evidence and provenance
This record separates present imprisonment from historical detention, bail, completed sentences and overturned convictions. It does not infer a release date from sentence arithmetic.
