邹幸彤Chow Hang-tung

一、生平与支联会1. Early Life and the Hong Kong Alliance

邹幸彤1985年1月24日生于香港，就读于英华女学校，后入剑桥大学修读地球物理学。她在剑桥期间逐渐确认自己真正关心的是人权，放弃攻读博士学位，2010年返港，先在一家非政府组织工作，其后入读香港大学法律课程，2016年取得香港大律师资格，执业于夏慤大律师事务所。她长期参与劳工权利倡议，为在内地受迫害的人权捍卫者发声，也为因民主活动被检控的香港抗争者提供法律协助。Chow Hang-tung was born in Hong Kong on January 24, 1985. She attended Ying Wa Girls' School and went on to study geophysics at the University of Cambridge. At Cambridge she realised her real interest was human rights; she gave up doctoral studies and returned to Hong Kong in 2010, worked for a time at an NGO, then studied law at the University of Hong Kong. She was called to the Hong Kong Bar in 2016 and practised at Harcourt Chambers. She was long involved in labour-rights advocacy, spoke up for rights defenders persecuted on the mainland, and provided legal help to Hong Kong protesters prosecuted over pro-democracy activities.

她加入的香港市民支援爱国民主运动联合会（支联会）成立于1989年，自1990年起每年6月4日在维多利亚公园举办烛光悼念晚会，悼念1989年北京镇压中的死难者，参加人数常达十余万，是全球规模最大的六四悼念活动。支联会的五大纲领是：释放民运人士、平反八九民运、追究屠杀责任、结束一党专政、建设民主中国。邹幸彤2015年12月起任支联会副主席。2021年4月，主席李卓人和副主席何俊仁因其他案件入狱，她成为支联会对外发言的核心人物。The Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements of China, which she joined, was founded in 1989 and from 1990 held a candlelight vigil every June 4 in Victoria Park to mourn those killed in the 1989 Beijing crackdown. Attendance often exceeded one hundred thousand, making it the largest June Fourth commemoration in the world. The Alliance's five demands were: release democracy activists, vindicate the 1989 movement, hold those responsible for the massacre to account, end one-party dictatorship, and build a democratic China. Chow became the Alliance's vice-chair in December 2015. In April 2021, after chairman Lee Cheuk-yan and vice-chairman Albert Ho were jailed in other cases, she became the group's public face.

二、晚会遭禁与2021年两次被捕2. The Banned Vigils and Two Arrests in 2021

2020年，香港警方以新冠疫情为由，三十年来首次禁止六四烛光晚会。邹幸彤当晚仍到维园外点烛悼念。事后她与多名民主派人士被控参与及煽惑他人参与未经批准集结。2021年6月4日清晨，她在社交媒体发文，呼吁市民「在你所在的地方亮起灯光」悼念六四，警方当日以涉嫌宣传未经批准集结拘捕她。她6月5日获准保释，6月30日再被拘捕，7月2日在西九龙裁判法院提堂，保释被拒；7月9日、7月23日两次保释覆核再被拒；8月5日高等法院批准她以5万港元现金及5万港元人事担保保释，条件包括交出所有旅游证件。此后她一直以被告身分等待多宗案件开审。In 2020, Hong Kong police banned the June Fourth vigil for the first time in three decades, citing the COVID-19 pandemic. Chow still went to the edge of Victoria Park that night to light a candle. She and other pro-democracy figures were later charged with taking part in and inciting others to join an unauthorised assembly. On the morning of June 4, 2021, she posted online urging Hongkongers to "turn on the lights wherever you are" in memory of June Fourth, and police arrested her that day for allegedly promoting an unauthorised assembly. She was released on bail on June 5, arrested again on June 30, and brought before West Kowloon Magistrates' Court on July 2, where bail was refused; further bail reviews were rejected on July 9 and July 23. On August 5 the High Court granted her bail on HK$50,000 cash plus a HK$50,000 surety, on conditions including surrender of all travel documents. From then on she faced a string of pending cases as a defendant.

2020年六四集会案2021年12月13日在区域法院判刑，她因参与未经批准集结被判监12个月。同案多名民主派人士亦被判刑。这是她此后一连串判刑的第一宗。On December 13, 2021, the District Court sentenced her to 12 months in prison over the 2020 vigil, for taking part in an unauthorised assembly. Several other pro-democracy figures were sentenced in the same case. It was the first in a chain of sentences that followed.

三、拒绝交出资料与支联会解散3. The Refusal to Hand Over Data and the Alliance's Dissolution

2021年8月25日，警方国安处致函支联会，声称有合理理由相信支联会是「外国代理人」，要求在9月7日前交出成员、职员、资金来源等资料。支联会公开拒绝，指出警方没有提出任何证据。9月8日，邹幸彤与梁锦威、邓岳君、陈多伟等常委被国安处拘捕。9月9日，警方搜查支联会会址及六四纪念馆，冻结支联会约220万港元资产，并起诉支联会、李卓人、何俊仁及邹幸彤一项「煽动他人颠覆国家政权罪」，指控期间为2020年7月1日至2021年9月8日。9月10日，邹幸彤就国安案申请保释被拒，自此一直还押。9月25日，支联会在警方与建制派持续施压下召开特别会员大会，表决通过解散，这个运作了32年的组织就此结束。On August 25, 2021, the police National Security Department wrote to the Alliance claiming reasonable grounds to believe it was a "foreign agent," and demanding that by September 7 it hand over information on its members, staff and sources of funds. The Alliance publicly refused, noting that police had offered no evidence. On September 8, national security police arrested Chow together with standing committee members Leung Kam-wai, Tang Ngok-shing and Chan To-wai. On September 9, police raided the Alliance's offices and the June 4th Museum, froze about HK$2.2 million of the Alliance's assets, and charged the Alliance, Lee Cheuk-yan, Albert Ho and Chow with one count of "inciting subversion of state power," covering the period from July 1, 2020 to September 8, 2021. On September 10 Chow's bail application in the national security case was refused; she has been held on remand ever since. On September 25, under continuing pressure from police and the pro-Beijing camp, the Alliance held a special general meeting and voted to disband, ending the 32-year-old organisation.

四、小案叠加：判刑、上诉与终审反复4. Stacked Minor Cases: Sentences, Appeals and Reversals

2021年六四煽惑案2022年1月4日在西九龙裁判法院判刑：她在社交媒体与报章发文呼吁市民悼念，被裁定煽惑他人明知而参与未经批准集结罪成，判监15个月，其中10个月与2020年案的12个月分期执行，两案合计须服刑22个月。求情时她自辩，在法庭上读出六四死难者家属的文字，被裁判官打断并警告法庭不容她作政治表述。2022年12月14日，高等法院裁定警方全面禁止2021年晚会并不合比例，撤销她的定罪与刑期。但律政司上诉至终审法院，2024年1月25日终审法院五名法官裁定律政司得直，恢复定罪；2024年2月21日高等法院重审后维持15个月刑期。The 2021 incitement case was sentenced at West Kowloon Magistrates' Court on January 4, 2022: her social-media posts and a newspaper article urging people to commemorate June Fourth were held to be incitement to take part in an unauthorised assembly, and she received 15 months, 10 of them to run consecutively with the 12 months from the 2020 case — 22 months in total. Representing herself at the mitigation hearing, she read aloud writings of Tiananmen victims' families in court until the magistrate stopped her, warning that the court would not allow political statements. On December 14, 2022, the High Court ruled that the police ban on the 2021 vigil had been disproportionate and quashed her conviction and sentence. The Department of Justice appealed to the Court of Final Appeal, which on January 25, 2024 ruled for the prosecution by a five-judge panel and restored the conviction; a High Court retrial on February 21, 2024 upheld the 15-month sentence.

拒绝交资料一事亦成独立案件：邹幸彤与邓岳君、徐汉光被控没有遵从国安处通知提供资料，2023年3月11日被裁定罪成，各判监4个半月。2024年3月14日，其定罪上诉被驳回。此外，2024年5月28日，警方以涉嫌透过一个与六四有关的脸书专页发布具煽动意图帖文为由，拘捕六人，包括正在还押中的邹幸彤；这是2024年3月生效的《维护国家安全条例》（23条立法）下首批拘捕。外界其后未见她就此案被正式起诉的公开报道。The data refusal also became a separate case: Chow, Tang Ngok-shing and Tsui Hon-kwong were convicted on March 11, 2023 of failing to comply with the national security police notice to provide information, and each received four and a half months. Her appeal against that conviction was dismissed on March 14, 2024. Separately, on May 28, 2024, police arrested six people — including Chow, already on remand — over allegedly seditious posts on a June Fourth-related Facebook page. These were the first arrests under the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance (the Article 23 legislation) that had taken effect in March 2024. No public report has since indicated that she was formally charged in that case.

五、还押逾四年：狱中绝食与单独囚禁5. More Than Four Years on Remand: Hunger Strikes and Solitary Confinement

自2021年9月起，邹幸彤被还押于大榄女子惩教所，等候支联会案开审，一等就是四年多。审前还押期间她多次申请保释均被拒。2023年六四前夕，她在狱中绝食34小时，以每小时对应六四镇压一年。她的朋友对外透露，2023年夏季约三个月内，她至少四次被送入单独囚禁的囚室（俗称「水饭房」），其中一次与六四绝食有关。国际特赦组织2025年年终回顾亦记录，她还押期间屢遭单独囚禁处罚；据法新社2025年10月报道，她在社交平台发文评论自己获提名2025年诺贝尔和平奖后，再度被单独囚禁。惩教署没有就个案公开回应。From September 2021, Chow was remanded at Tai Lam Women's Correctional Institution awaiting the Alliance trial — a wait of more than four years. Her repeated bail applications during pre-trial detention were all refused. Around June Fourth in 2023, she staged a 34-hour hunger strike in prison, one hour for each year since the 1989 crackdown. Friends reported that over roughly three months in the summer of 2023 she was placed in solitary confinement cells at least four times, one of them connected to the June Fourth hunger strike. Amnesty International's 2025 year-end review also recorded repeated solitary confinement punishments during her remand; Agence France-Presse reported in October 2025 that she was again placed in solitary after posting online about her nomination for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize. The Correctional Services Department has not publicly commented on her individual case.

2023年，联合国任意拘留问题工作组发表第30/2023号意见，认定对邹幸彤的逮捕与拘留属任意拘留，指不应进行审讯；港府拒绝接受。国际特赦组织2024年10月将她列为良心犯。案件原定2025年11月11日开审，两度延期，当局未有说明理由；到2025年12月10日，她与李卓人已被还押超过1,500天。In 2023, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention issued Opinion No. 30/2023, finding Chow's arrest and detention arbitrary and stating that no trial should take place; the Hong Kong government rejected the finding. Amnesty International recognised her as a prisoner of conscience in October 2024. The trial was first scheduled for November 11, 2025, then postponed twice without official explanation; by December 10, 2025, she and Lee Cheuk-yan had been held on remand for over 1,500 days.

六、2026年支联会案：审讯、定罪与判刑6. The 2026 Alliance Trial: Hearing, Conviction and Sentencing

支联会案2026年1月22日在西九龙裁判法院（暂代高等法院）正式开审，由三名国安法指定法官李运腾、陈仲衡、黎婉姫审理，不设陪审团。何俊仁在开审前认罪；邹幸彤与李卓人不认罪，邹幸彤亲自自辩。开审前她曾申请撤销公诉书，质疑控罪中「非法手段」定义虚无，被法庭驳回。审讯历时24天，控辩双方2026年5月18日起作结案陈词。控方立场是：支联会「结束一党专政」纲领本身即构成煽动颠覆。2026年8月21日，三名法官裁定支联会、李卓人、邹幸彤罪名成立。The Alliance case finally opened on January 22, 2026 at West Kowloon Law Courts Building (sitting as the High Court), before three designated national security judges — Lee, Chan and Lai — with no jury. Albert Ho pleaded guilty before the trial; Chow and Lee Cheuk-yan pleaded not guilty, and Chow represented herself. Before the trial she applied to have the indictment dismissed, arguing that the charge's notion of "unlawful means" was void for vagueness; the court rejected the application. The trial lasted 24 days, and closing submissions began on May 18, 2026. The prosecution's position was that the Alliance's call to "end one-party dictatorship" itself constituted incitement to subversion. On August 21, 2026, the three judges convicted the Alliance, Lee Cheuk-yan and Chow.

判刑前的求情阶段，邹幸彤拒绝按惯常方式求情，重申自己无罪可悔、一日监也不应坐，法官多次打断其陈词。2026年9月11日判刑：法庭认定案件属「情节严重」，以7年半为她的量刑起点，经酌情扣减后判监7年3个月；李卓人判监7年；认罪的何俊仁判监5年2个月；支联会被罚款150万港元。据庭刊报道，计及还押日数，三人预计2028至2030年间刑满。2026年10月5日，邹幸彤就定罪及判刑向高等法院上诉庭提出上诉，案件暂未排期。At the mitigation stage before sentencing, Chow refused to plead for leniency in the usual way, restating that she had nothing to repent and should not serve a single day in prison; the judges repeatedly interrupted her submissions. Sentencing followed on September 11, 2026: the court held the case to be "of a serious nature," took seven and a half years as her starting point, and after discretionary reductions imposed seven years and three months. Lee Cheuk-yan received seven years; Albert Ho, who had pleaded guilty, five years and two months; the Alliance was fined HK$1.5 million. According to court reporting, counting time already spent on remand, the three are expected to complete their sentences between 2028 and 2030. On October 5, 2026, Chow filed an appeal against both conviction and sentence at the Court of Appeal; no hearing date has been set.

七、家人与支持者7. Family and Supporters

邹幸彤的母亲刘华珍（Medina Chow）多年来出席女儿的聆讯与判刑，在法庭外见证整个过程。2026年8月21日裁决当日，多国领事馆人员到庭旁听，庭外有数十名支持者排队，警方要求排队人士登记身分及搜查随身物品。判刑后，刘华珍在庭外感谢支持者，并转达不要为裁决过分难过、不要失去信心的信息。邹幸彤的朋友在她入狱后维持其社交媒体专页，发布她的狱中书信与文章；正是这些发文，在2024年与2025年两度引来警方以煽动为由的拘捕与惩教处罚。Chow's mother, Lau Wah-chun (Medina Chow), has attended her daughter's hearings and sentencing over the years, witnessing the entire process outside the courtroom. On the verdict day, August 21, 2026, consular staff from several countries observed the hearing; dozens of supporters queued outside, and police required those queueing to register their identities and submit to bag searches. After sentencing, Lau thanked supporters outside the court and relayed her daughter's message that people should not be overly saddened by the outcome and should not lose heart. Since Chow's imprisonment, friends have maintained her social-media pages, publishing her prison letters and essays — the very posts that twice, in 2024 and 2025, drew sedition arrests and prison discipline.

八、国际反应与奖项8. International Reactions and Awards

2021年10月12日，四名联合国人权专家发表声明，对邹幸彤被捕及两度被拒保释表达深切关注，并指《国安法》与国际法根本不相容。路透社2022年11月报道形容她为香港最突出的在囚异见声音之一。她在狱中获得多项国际人权奖：2023年获韩国五一八纪念基金会光州人权奖、法德人权与法治奖、欧洲律师协会委员会（CCBE）人权奖。2025年，她获提名角逐诺贝尔和平奖（据法新社报道）。2025年12月10日世界人权日，近30个国际人权组织及工会发表联合声明，要求立即释放她与李卓人。2026年9月判刑后，联合国人权事务高级专员办事处批评判刑「令人遗憾」，呼吁撤销定罪；欧洲议会以459票对12票通过决议谴责判刑（据香港监察整理）。On October 12, 2021, four UN human rights experts issued a statement expressing deep concern over Chow's arrest and the two refusals of bail, describing the National Security Law as fundamentally incompatible with international law. A November 2022 Reuters report described her as one of Hong Kong's most prominent jailed dissident voices. From prison she received several international human rights awards: in 2023, the Gwangju Prize for Human Rights from South Korea's May 18 Foundation, the Franco-German Prize for Human Rights and the Rule of Law, and the Human Rights Award of the Council of Bars and Law Societies of Europe (CCBE). In 2025 she was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize (as reported by AFP). On Human Rights Day, December 10, 2025, nearly 30 international rights groups and unions issued a joint statement demanding the immediate release of Chow and Lee Cheuk-yan. After the September 2026 sentencing, the UN Human Rights Office called the sentences "regrettable" and urged that they be quashed; the European Parliament condemned the sentences by 459 votes to 12 (as compiled by Hong Kong Watch).

十、关键日期时间线10. Key Dates Timeline

1985年1月24日，邹幸彤生于香港。2010年，她放弃在剑桥攻读博士学位返港，2016年取得大律师资格。2015年12月，她出任支联会副主席。2020年6月4日，警方以疫情为由首次禁止维园六四晚会，她当晚到维园外点烛，其后被控参与及煽惑参与未经批准集结。January 24, 1985: Chow Hang-tung is born in Hong Kong. In 2010 she gives up doctoral studies at Cambridge and returns to Hong Kong; in 2016 she is called to the Bar. In December 2015 she becomes vice-chair of the Hong Kong Alliance. On June 4, 2020, police ban the Victoria Park vigil for the first time on pandemic grounds; she lights a candle outside the park that night and is later charged with taking part in, and inciting others to take part in, an unauthorised assembly.

2021年6月4日，她因呼吁市民以亮灯方式悼念六四被捕，翌日获保释；6月30日再被拘捕，7月两度被拒保释，8月5日获高等法院批准保释并须交出旅游证件。2021年8月25日，国安处要求支联会交出成员与资金资料；9月8日她与多名常委被捕；9月9日警方搜查支联会会址与六四纪念馆、冻结约220万港元资产，并起诉她与李卓人、何俊仁及支联会「煽动他人颠覆国家政权罪」；9月10日她保释被拒，自此还押；9月25日支联会通过解散。June 4, 2021: she is arrested for urging people to commemorate June Fourth by turning on lights, and is bailed the next day. June 30: arrested again. July: bail refused twice. August 5: the High Court grants bail with surrender of travel documents. August 25, 2021: national security police demand the Alliance's membership and funding records. September 8: she and several standing committee members are arrested. September 9: police raid the Alliance offices and the June 4th Museum, freeze about HK$2.2 million in assets, and charge her, Lee Cheuk-yan, Albert Ho and the Alliance with inciting subversion. September 10: her bail is refused; she is remanded from this point on. September 25: the Alliance votes to disband.

2021年12月13日，2020年集会案判监12个月。2022年1月4日，2021年煽惑案判监15个月，两案合计22个月。2022年12月14日，高等法院撤销2021年案定罪。2023年3月11日，拒绝交资料案判监4个半月；同年联合国任意拘留问题工作组发表意见认定其拘留属任意拘留。2024年1月25日，终审法院恢复2021年案定罪；2月21日重审维持15个月刑期；3月14日拒绝交资料案上诉被驳回。2024年5月28日，她在还押期间再被警方以涉嫌煽动拘捕，是《维护国家安全条例》下首批拘捕之一。December 13, 2021: 12 months for the 2020 assembly case. January 4, 2022: 15 months for the 2021 incitement case — 22 months combined. December 14, 2022: the High Court quashes the 2021 conviction. March 11, 2023: four and a half months in the data-refusal case; the same year, the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention finds her detention arbitrary. January 25, 2024: the Court of Final Appeal restores the 2021 conviction. February 21, 2024: a retrial upholds the 15-month sentence. March 14, 2024: her data-case appeal is dismissed. May 28, 2024: while on remand she is arrested again over alleged sedition — among the first arrests under the Safeguarding National Security Ordinance.

2025年10月，法新社报道她因发文评论诺贝尔和平奖提名再被单独囚禁；12月10日，她与李卓人还押已逾1,500天，近30家人权组织联署要求放人。2026年1月22日，支联会案在西九龙开审；何俊仁认罪，邹幸彤自辩不认罪；审讯24天，5月18日起结案陈词；8月21日裁定罪成；9月11日判监7年3个月；10月5日她提出上诉。October 2025: AFP reports she is again placed in solitary confinement after posting about her Nobel Peace Prize nomination. December 10, 2025: her remand alongside Lee Cheuk-yan passes 1,500 days, and nearly 30 rights groups jointly demand their release. January 22, 2026: the Alliance trial opens at West Kowloon; Albert Ho has pleaded guilty, Chow defends herself and pleads not guilty. The trial runs 24 days, with closing submissions from May 18. August 21, 2026: she is convicted. September 11, 2026: she is sentenced to seven years and three months. October 5, 2026: she files an appeal.

十一、她的自辩与狱中文字11. Her Self-Defence and Prison Writings

邹幸彤在多宗案件中选择自辩，不聘请律师。她在庭上争论的核心问题始终一致：警方禁止悼念是否合法、控罪用语是否含糊到令市民无法预知界线、「结束一党专政」作为政治信念能否入罪。在2021年煽惑案求情阶段，她读出六四死难者家属的文章，被裁判官以「法庭不容政治表述」为由制止；在支联会案求情阶段，她提交的书面陈情其后由友人发布全文，内容从人民主权、法律与良知的关系，谈到她为何拒绝求情。她在狱中持续写作，文章与书信由朋友代为发布到社交专页，主题包括还押制度、单独囚禁与六四记忆。这些文字是2024年、2025年警方与惩教当局两度对她采取行动的直接背景：一边是墙内的人写作，一边是墙外的机构逐篇计较。Chow chose to represent herself in most of her cases. The core questions she argued in court never changed: whether the police ban on commemoration was lawful, whether the charges' wording was too vague for citizens to know where the line lay, and whether "ending one-party dictatorship" as a political belief could be a crime. At mitigation in the 2021 incitement case she read aloud writings by Tiananmen victims' families until the magistrate stopped her, ruling that the court would not permit political statements. At mitigation in the Alliance case, the written statement she submitted was later published in full by friends; it ranged from popular sovereignty and the relation between law and conscience to her reasons for refusing to plead for mercy. She kept writing in prison, her essays and letters posted by friends to her social-media pages, on topics including the remand regime, solitary confinement and June Fourth memory. Those writings were the direct background to the actions police and prison authorities took against her in 2024 and 2025: a person inside the walls writing, and institutions outside counting every piece.

2021年9月9日被搜查的六四纪念馆位于旺角，馆内展品包括死难者遗物、历史照片与烛光晚会档案。警方当日检走展品与电脑，其后纪念馆未能重开。支联会解散后，其资产处置与档案去向再无公开交代。这个纪念馆与维园晚会一样，是香港曾经可以公开保存六四记忆的两个实体空间；到2026年，两者都已消失，记忆的保存转入法庭文件、狱中文字与海外档案。The June 4th Museum raided on September 9, 2021 stood in Mong Kok; its exhibits included victims' belongings, historical photographs and the vigil archive. Police seized exhibits and computers that day, and the museum never reopened. After the Alliance disbanded, the disposition of its assets and archives was never publicly accounted for. The museum and the Victoria Park vigil were the two physical spaces in which June Fourth memory could once be publicly kept in Hong Kong; by 2026 both are gone, and the keeping of that memory has moved into court records, prison writings and archives overseas.

十二、同案者与支联会网络的遭遇12. What Happened to Her Co-defendants and the Alliance Network

支联会领导层在2021年并非只面对这一宗案件。李卓人、何俊仁早在2021年4月已因2019年8月未经批准集结案被判刑入狱，邹幸彤正是在两人入狱后接过支联会的对外工作。何俊仁2022年8月就另一宗案件被捕，其初选案保释其后被撤销。李卓人的妻子邓燕娥——职工盟前总干事——2023年3月9日被国安处以涉嫌勾结外国势力拘捕，时值她到赤柱监狱探望丈夫之后；她其后获准保释，未被起诉。也就是说，支联会案三名被告中，两人的至亲或本人都在主案之外另有国安拘捕记录。这种「一案未审、他案缠身」的格局，是理解本案审前还押四年多的背景：被告并非在等一宗案件，而是在多条战线同时被拖住。The Alliance leadership faced far more than this one case in 2021. Lee Cheuk-yan and Albert Ho had already been jailed in April 2021 over an unauthorised assembly in August 2019; it was after their imprisonment that Chow took over the Alliance's public work. Ho was arrested in another case in August 2022 and his bail in the primaries case was later revoked. Lee's wife, Elizabeth Tang Yin-ngor, a former Confederation of Trade Unions chief executive, was arrested by national security police on March 9, 2023 on suspicion of collusion with foreign forces, shortly after visiting her husband at Stanley Prison; she was later bailed and not charged. In other words, for two of the three Alliance defendants, either they or their closest family members accumulated national-security arrests beyond the main case. This pattern — one case untried, several others in tow — is the context for the four-plus years of remand: the defendants were not waiting for a single trial but being held on multiple fronts at once.

支联会的全盛时期可以作一对照：自1990年起，维园六四晚会年年举行，2009年二十周年有逾十五万人参加（主办方估计），2019年三十周年主办方估计十八万人、警方估计三万七千人。六四纪念馆2014年在尖沙咀开幕，是全球首间以六四为主题的常设纪念馆，其后迁至旺角。2020年晚会首次被禁，2021年支联会申请再次被拒后宣布不再以组织名义举办，邹幸彤以个人身分表示会去维园——她其后对媒体说，在有烛光的地方就是维园。从十八万人同点烛光，到一个人在审讯中为「结束一党专政」六个字自辩，中间隔着的是《国安法》实施的六年。The Alliance's peak offers a contrast. From 1990 the Victoria Park vigil was held every year; organisers estimated over 150,000 participants at the 20th anniversary in 2009, and for the 30th anniversary in 2019 organisers estimated 180,000 against a police estimate of 37,000. The June 4th Museum, opened in Tsim Sha Tsui in 2014, was the world's first permanent museum devoted to June Fourth, later moving to Mong Kok. After the vigil was first banned in 2020 and the Alliance's 2021 application was refused again, the Alliance announced it would no longer organise the event; Chow said she would go to Victoria Park in a personal capacity — telling media afterwards that wherever there is candlelight, there is Victoria Park. Between 180,000 people lighting candles together and one woman defending herself at trial over the six characters of a slogan lie the six years of the National Security Law.

本案的审讯细节里还有一项制度背景：国安法案件不设陪审团，由行政长官指定的法官审理，被告保释门槛远高于普通刑事案件。邹幸彤自2021年9月被拒保释起，到2026年8月裁决，近五年时间里法院处理她的案件时，她始终是从惩教所囚车被押到法庭的那个人。裁决当日庭外，警方要求排队旁听者登记身分并搜查物品，多国领事人员在庭内旁听——这些细节与审讯本身一起，构成本案的完整记录：一宗关于悼念的案件，审理方式本身就是香港言论空间现状的注脚。There is an institutional background to this trial: national security cases are heard without a jury, by judges designated by the Chief Executive, and bail thresholds are far higher than in ordinary criminal cases. From the refusal of bail in September 2021 to the verdict in August 2026, at every court appearance across nearly five years Chow was the person brought from a correctional institution in a prison van. On verdict day, police outside the court required queueing spectators to register their identities and submit to searches, while consular staff from several countries observed inside. These details, together with the trial itself, form the complete record of this case: a trial about commemoration, conducted in a manner that is itself a footnote to the state of free expression in Hong Kong.

十三、裁决理由与狱中获奖13. The Court's Reasoning and Awards Received in Prison

支联会案的裁决理由提供了控罪逻辑的完整样本。据庭刊与多家媒体对判词的整理，三名法官认定：支联会的纲领与历年活动显示其意图煽动他人以「非法手段」结束中国共产党领导，这本身违反《宪法》确立的制度；法庭特别指出，邹幸彤对中国共产党怀有强烈敌意，明知「结束一党专政」纲领有触犯《国安法》的风险仍坚持理念、毫无退让，并鼓励他人坚持抗争。法庭同时承认，本案不涉及暴力，被告没有提出任何具体的实施手段或时间表，但仍裁定案件属「情节严重」，以监禁7年半为量刑起点，再就审讯一再延后、被告曾任公职等因素酌情扣减，得出7年3个月的刑期。联合国人权办与国际特赦组织对判刑的批评集中在同一点：把一句政治纲领解释为煽动颠覆，等于把和平表达本身入罪。The reasoning in the Alliance verdict provides a complete sample of the charge's logic. As summarised from the judgment by court reporters and multiple outlets, the three judges held that the Alliance's platform and years of activity showed an intent to incite others to end CCP leadership by "unlawful means," itself a breach of the order established by the Constitution. The court noted in particular that Chow bore strong hostility toward the CCP, knew the "end one-party dictatorship" platform risked breaching the National Security Law, yet held to her beliefs without any retreat and encouraged others to persist. The court also acknowledged that the case involved no violence and that the defendants had put forward no concrete means or timetable, but still classified the offence as "of a serious nature," taking seven and a half years as the starting point and, after discretionary reductions for the trial's repeated delays and the defendants' past public service, arriving at seven years and three months. Criticism of the sentences from the UN Human Rights Office and Amnesty International converges on one point: construing a political platform as incitement to subversion criminalises peaceful expression itself.

她在狱中获得的奖项有一项细节值得记录：2023年光州人权奖颁奖时，她身在还押中，获奖感言由友人代为宣读，内容谈的是记忆与不放弃；同年她还获得欧洲律师界的CCBE人权奖与法德人权与法治奖。国际律师组织指出，一个执业大律师因组织悼念活动入狱、又在狱中被律师同行授奖，这个组合本身就是对香港法治变化的量度。2025年诺贝尔和平奖提名报道出现后，她透过友人在社交平台发文评论，其后据报被单独囚禁——提名没有带来保护，反而带来处罚，这是她狱中处境最准确的一个注脚。One detail of her prison awards deserves recording: when the Gwangju Prize for Human Rights was presented in 2023, she was on remand, and her acceptance remarks — about memory and not giving up — were read aloud by a friend. The same year brought the CCBE Human Rights Award from Europe's legal profession and the Franco-German Prize for Human Rights and the Rule of Law. International lawyers' bodies observed that the combination — a practising barrister jailed for organising commemoration, then honoured by her own profession from inside prison — is itself a measure of how Hong Kong's rule of law has changed. After reports of her 2025 Nobel Peace Prize nomination appeared, she commented through friends on social media and was, by report, placed in solitary confinement afterwards: the nomination brought not protection but punishment — the most precise footnote to her situation in prison.

九、现状9. Current Status

截至2026年10月，邹幸彤41岁，正在服支联会案7年3个月的刑期；她就定罪与判刑提出的上诉尚待排期。她被关押的具体惩教院所，在判刑后未见公开报道，本站不作推测。从2021年6月4日第一次被捕算起，她失去自由的时间已逾五年，其间只有2021年8月初短暂获保释约一个月。她所涉的2020年、2021年六四集会案与拒绝交资料案刑期均已在还押期间交织执行，支联会案的定罪与判刑是她目前身陷囹圄的直接原因。As of October 2026, Chow Hang-tung is 41 and serving the seven-year-three-month sentence in the Alliance case; her appeal against conviction and sentence awaits scheduling. The correctional institution where she is held after sentencing has not been publicly reported, and this site makes no conjecture. Counting from her first arrest on June 4, 2021, she has been deprived of liberty for over five years, apart from roughly one month on bail in August 2021. The sentences in the 2020 and 2021 vigil cases and the data-refusal case overlapped with her remand; it is the Alliance conviction and sentence that now keep her in prison.

本站点评Our Take

邹幸彤案的全部「罪行」，是点烛、发文、拒绝交出一个民间团体的成员名单。警方先以疫情为由禁止悼念，再以集会罪判刑；高等法院一度裁定禁令不合比例，终审法院又把定罪恢复。支联会案中，控罪的核心不是任何暴力行为，而是一句喊了三十年的纲领口号：当「结束一党专政」可以被解释为煽动颠覆，一个政权实际上是把反对它本身定为犯罪。四年多审前还押、反复单独囚禁、因发文再被捕——程序本身已经先于判决完成了惩罚。Every "offence" in Chow Hang-tung's record is lighting candles, publishing articles, and refusing to hand over a civic group's membership list. Police first banned remembrance on pandemic grounds, then prosecuted assembly; the High Court once held the ban disproportionate, and the Court of Final Appeal restored the conviction. In the Alliance case, the core of the charge was not any act of violence but a platform slogan voiced for thirty years: when "end one-party dictatorship" can be construed as inciting subversion, a regime has in substance made opposition to itself a crime. More than four years of pre-trial remand, repeated solitary confinement, and arrest over social-media posts meant the process itself completed the punishment before any verdict.
