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.”
