Tap title to read story
Prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy and LGBTQ+ activist Jimmy Sham was released from prison on Friday after serving over four years. Sham, a key figure in the 2019 anti-government protests, was convicted under the city's national security law for his role in an unofficial primary election. Despite his release, Sham remains cautious, unsure of his future freedom and expressing concern for other activists still imprisoned. His release follows the freeing of other pro-democracy figures, though critics contend the national security law has stifled dissent in Hong Kong.
