Four former Hong Kong lawmakers – Claudia Mo, Gary Fan, Jeremy Tam, and Kwok Ka-ki – have been released from prison after serving four years and two months for conspiracy to commit subversion under the national security law. They were part of the "Hong Kong 47" group arrested for participating in a 2020 unofficial primary election. The release was reported by Radio Television Hong Kong and other news outlets. The case, stemming from the primary, has been criticized for suppressing dissent and undermining Hong Kong's autonomy.
