 Hong Kong convicts media tycoon Jimmy Lai in national security case

A Hong Kong court on Monday morning convicted pro-democracy media tycoon Jimmy Lai of sedition and colluding with foreign forces in a high-profile national security trial. Lai, the founder of the now-defunct Apple Daily and a prominent critic of China’s ruling Communist Party, was first charged in 2020 after Beijing enacted a sweeping national security law following a year of pro-democracy protests in the city.

Lai has been detained since 2020 and now faces the possibility of a life sentence after a three-judge panel found him guilty on both charges. The case has drawn international attention, with former U.S. President Donald Trump stating he would do “everything” possible to help Lai and vowing to raise the issue during a meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping. A U.S.-registered nonprofit, the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong, denounced the charges as “trumped-up” and called on the U.S. government to hold Hong Kong and Chinese officials accountable.
