According to Hong Kong media reports, Leung Tin Kei, the leader of "Hong Kong independence" and former spokesman of the "Local Democracy Front", was sentenced to 6 years in prison for the Mong Kok riot on the night of the New Year's Day in 2016, and after serving a 4-year sentence in Shek Bi Prison, his identity was changed to a prisoner today (19th). It is understood that Liang Tianqi left Shibi Prison before about 3 a.m. today. According to the Correctional Services Department of Hong Kong, in response to the police's request and taking into account the wishes and safety of the persons concerned, the Department made corresponding measures to arrange for the persons concerned to leave Shek Biu Prison in the early morning.

It is reported that as Leung Tin Kei is the leader of "Hong Kong independence", the Correctional Services Department and the Police anticipate that a member of the public may receive Leung from prison, so appropriate arrangements and arrangements have been made to avoid causing confusion and safety problems.

Leung's family posted on Facebook yesterday that they would remove Leung's page in accordance with legal advice, and by the time of publication, Leung's Facebook had stopped functioning and removed all content. According to Wen Wei Po, it is understood that the police have made a risk assessment of Liang Tianqi's whereabouts after his release from prison. Although Leung's Facebook page ceased to function and removed all content, the police will closely monitor Leung's words and deeds and the people he contacts, and will take action in a timely manner if anyone is found to be suspected of violating Hong Kong's national security law or other violations.

Born in June 1991, Leung Tin-kei was a Hong Kong university student who joined the "Local Democratic Front" founded by Wong Tai-yang in 2015 and participated in the New Territories East by-election in February of the following year, and was disqualified from running for the Legislative Council re-election in the same year.

Leung participated in the 2016 Mong Kok riots launched by the "Local Democracy Front", when rioters attacked police with bricks, injuring more than 100 people.

In December 2017, the "Local Democracy Front" issued a statement announcing that Mr. Leung had resigned from the party and as a spokesman.

In 2018, Leung was convicted of one count of rioting, which, together with previously admitted assault on police, was sentenced to six years in prison.

Leung appealed, but was rejected by the High Court. The other two co-defendants were sentenced to 7 years and 3 1/2 years in prison, respectively, for rioting.

However, many Hong Kong media believe that Leung Tianqi has no remorse.

During the 2019 "amendment storm," he published an open letter in prison, claiming that some people had "shown great courage to rewrite history."

In August 2020, the media reported that the family of a prisoner revealed that his father was serving a sentence at Shek Bi Prison with Leung Tin Chi, and Leung kept preaching anti-China and chaotic Hong Kong arguments to other prisoners, and even tempted these people to say that if everyone helped him, so that he could get out of prison early, he would later seek the media and Legislative Council members to help them fight for their rights, including helping lifelong prisoners get released early. His father believed that Liang was "dressing up as a pig to eat a tiger" and had no remorse at all.

Earlier, Legislative Council member Leung Mei-fen asked the Security Bureau how to deal with the imminent release of some opposition politicians, and the Secretary for Security, Tang Ping-keung, responded at the time that anyone who violates the law, especially the Hong Kong National Security Law, will be dealt with severely.
