HK democrat Tiffany Yuen freed after serving time over unofficial primary - reports Hong Kong former district councillor Tiffany Yuen has been released after serving more than four years in prison for her role in an unofficial primary election in 2020.

🎉We're delighted that #HK democrat #TiffanyYuen has been released. A 'subversion' charge saw her jailed for 4 years for participating in an election primary

She shouldn't have spent a single day behind bars. All #HongKong political prisoners should be released NOW.
