Jimmy Lai Sentenced to 20 Years in Hong Kong Security Case

#YauTsimMong, #HongKong
Jimmy Lai was sentenced to 20 years in prison after judges in Hong Kong found the 78-year-old media mogul guilty of conspiring to collude with foreign forces and publishing seditious materials.Donald Trump and Keir Starmer have both called for the release of the British citizen, who founded the pro-democracy newspaper "Apple Daily" before it was forced to close following a $767,000 fine.Human rights organizations described the legal proceedings as a direct assault on press freedom as family members expressed concerns over the health of Jimmy Lai during his years of isolation.
