Former Hong Kong lawmaker Andrew Wan Siu-kin has been released from prison after completing his jail term in a landmark subversion case, saying he hopes to turn a new page in his life.Wan, of the now-defunct Democratic Party, left Stanley Prison on Saturday morning in a seven-seater believed to have been arranged by police.He expressed gratitude to his supporters in a subsequent social media post, sharing a picture of himself smiling and appearing slimmer than before.“I am having breakfast with my family members and friends now, it is a long-awaited reunion,” he wrote.“I have already completed all of my [jail] terms and I am thankful for all the support and care from you all these years. I look forward to starting the next chapter of my life.”He was among 31 defendants who pleaded guilty in a landmark case in which 47 former politicians and activists were charged with conspiracy to subvert state power under the national security law for their involvement in the 2020 primary.
