In 2019, Mr. Shiu was convicted of public nuisance charges for his role in Occupy Central and sentenced to eight months in prison.


2019年,邵家臻(1969~2025 Shiu Ka-chun,)因在佔中運動中所扮演的角色被判犯有公共滋擾罪,入獄八個月。


宣判前,他在法院外說道:“我想提醒那些生活在黑暗中的人,不要習慣黑暗,不要出於習慣為黑暗辯護,也不要嘲笑那些尋找光明的人。”

“I want to remind those who live in the dark to not get used to dark, not to defend darkness out of habit, and not to scoff at those who search for the light,” he said outside of the courthouse ahead of his sentencing.
