Leung Tin-qi, a former spokesman for the "Local Democracy Front", was sentenced to six years in prison by the High Court for his involvement in the Mong Kok riots during the 2016 Lunar New Year.

Liang has been in prison since January 22, 2018 and has been in prison for 4 years.

It is known that Liang Tianqi has behaved well in prison and will be released today (19th) after his sentence has been reduced according to the law.

At nearly 3 a.m., Liang Tianqi was picked up by a seven-person car, ending his four-year prison career.

It is reported that the Correctional Services Department has taken corresponding measures to arrange for the persons concerned to leave Shek Pik Prison in the early hours of the morning.


At about 2:40 am today, several seven-person vehicles entered Shek Pik Prison on Lantau Island and drove away shortly after.

Liang Tianqi was suspected of being picked up by one of the seven-person vehicles, and the other three vehicles were initially escorted along the way, but parted ways and left halfway; at the same time, the police set up roadblocks to intercept the vehicles.

The source said that since Liang Tianqi is a "sensitive person", it is expected that he will still be "monitored" after he is released from prison.

After Liang is released from prison, it will attract a large number of media follow-ups and supporters. It is known that the authorities have discussed plans, including letting Liang Tianqi leave the prison on his own, or sending a special car to take him somewhere.

Yesterday afternoon (18th), Liang Tianqi's family had posted a "notice" on their Facebook page, calling on supporters not to travel long distances to Shibi to pick up Liang Tianqi's release from prison, and to let him return home as soon as possible.

The post also mentioned that Liang Tianqi's page will stop operating at 0:00 am today (19th) in accordance with legal advice and remove all content.

From what the reporter saw, at 0:00 this morning, the relevant page has been removed immediately.

Liang Tianqi incident review:


+8

Liang Tianqi, 30, joined the "Local Democracy Front" founded by Huang Taiyang in 2015 and served as a spokesperson.

In January 2016, Leung Tin-chi represented Ben Minqian in the New Territories East by-election of the Legislative Council, and used the campaign slogan "Liberate Hong Kong, Revolution of the Times".

During the Lunar New Year of 2016, the Food and Environmental Hygiene Department swept up unlicensed hawkers at Langham Place, Mong Kok. Benmin called on supporters to support the hawkers. Liang Tianqi announced a legal campaign parade that night. Afterwards, clashes broke out between the crowd and the police, which turned into riots.

Afterwards, Liang Tianqi and Ben Minqian became the focus of the media and their popularity increased greatly.

In the Xindong by-election, the Citizens Party Yang Yueqiao won with 160,880 votes, while Liang Tianqi won 66,524 votes and lost in third place.

Although Liang lost the election, the election results far exceeded expectations.

About half a year after the New Territories East by-election, Liang Tianqi announced his candidacy in the 2016 New Territories East direct election in July.

However, on July 22, the Returning Officer of the Registration and Electoral Office sent a letter asking Liang Tianqi to explain the Hong Kong Independence Field. Liang Tianqi finally signed a "confirmation letter", denying that he would continue to promote Hong Kong independence, but was notified on August 2 that the nomination was invalid.

Until January 2018, Liang Tianqi was accused of participating in the Mong Kok riots. He was convicted of rioting and assaulting police in June and sentenced to 6 years in prison.

Liang Tianqi believed that the sentence was too severe and appealed the sentence, but it was rejected by the Court of Appeal in April 2020.

During the 2019 anti-revision campaign, Liang Tianqi's campaign slogan "Time of Light" was widely used by demonstrators. In July of the same year, Liang published an open letter in prison, saying that Hong Kong people have shown great courage to rewrite history and urge citizens not to be dominated by hatred. "In times of crisis, we must always maintain rational thinking."
