#YauTsimMong, #HongKong
Hong Kong judges sentenced media mogul Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison for conspiracy and sedition following his five-year solitary confinement.The ruling drew sharp condemnation from Donald Trump and Keir Starmer who both demanded the release of the 78-year-old British citizen.While John Lee described the case as an example of the rule of law, the children of Jimmy Lai expressed fears that his health issues make this a death sentence.
