判刑前，鄒幸彤在庭上以英語陳情，擲地作金石聲，一開始就點出此案癥結：

"Your Worship, we know as a matter of fact that we are no foreign agent, and nothing has emerged in this year long ordeal that proves otherwise. To sentence us in such circumstances is about punishing people for defending the truth."

「法官閣下，我們確知自己不是外國代理人，即此經年累月的折磨，亦無法證明我們是。如此判刑，實無異於懲罰捍衛真相的人。

-------
本案由始至終，都是真相與謊言之戰，鄒的陳情結尾講得非常好，值得背誦：

"Sir, sentence us for our insubordination if you must, but when the exercise of power is based on lies, being insubordinate is the only way to be human."

「閣下，若非要判刑不可，就對我們的不屈宣判吧。但面對姦詐弄權之徒，唯有不屈，我們才算是人。」

"The truth is that national security is being used as a hollow pretext to wage an all out war on civil society. The truth is that our movement for human rights and democracy is home grown and not some sinister foreign implant. The truth is that people here have a voice of their own that will not be silenced..." Tonyee Chow Hang-tung, 38, a prominent Hong Kong pro-democracy activist and former vice-chairperson of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China, was among those convicted by a magistrate's court. (HONG KONG, March 11)
