何桂藍不認罪，在無任何減刑下判監七年。

ReNews 2024年11月19日訊：
民主派初選 47 人案今日判刑，不認罪、在求情時表明無任何求情的何桂藍，在無任何減刑下判監七年，是案中被法庭定性為初選參加者中刑期最長的一個。何桂藍在判刑有結果後在社交媒體發文，指自己參與了香港最後一場自由公平的選舉，但政權試圖將此扭曲和貶低成 47 個被外國洗腦，沒有信念的傀儡的陰謀，她不認罪是為了捍衛 61 萬在初選投票香港人的政治表達。
何桂藍在文中指，她面臨的控罪最高刑罰是終身監禁，情況似乎嚴峻，但若深思會發現其實相當可笑，她們被指控十惡不赦的顛覆行為，其實只是在議會贏得多數以行使否決權，按照這個邏輯，世界各個民主國家都可以說成每四到六年就經歷一次顛覆；而在這些花巧的指控背後，她們真正的罪行其實是無按中共的意志參與被操控的選舉。
而隨著不同光譜的民主派被檢控，香港人被迫噤聲和放棄對民主香港的希望，何桂藍指她一直相信，自己在 19 年運動中感受過人與人之間的連結是真實存在，她雖然獨自面對控罪，但她不是作為個人、而是作為當日走上街頭的人的其中一員去面對。
何桂藍最後在文中指，若今日香港的局面是無可迴避的命運，「至少喺2019年，我哋選擇咗面對，選擇唔再留喺虛擬自由新手村，將問題再推畀下一代」，民主自由從來都伴隨代價「唔包歲月靜好」，而城市新生命的誕生必然伴隨痛楚，她的選擇和行動是她對於「香港可以係咩」的回答，她期望可以看到更多有關「香港可以係咩」的解答。
