UK calls for release of Hong Kong tycoon Jimmy Lai as trial starts
Monday, 18 December 2023 Britain has called on China to end its prosecution of media tycoon and pro-democracy campaigner Jimmy Lai whose long-awaited national security trial has started in Hong Kong.
A long-awaited national security trial opened in Hong Kong on Monday (December 18) for leading China critic and media tycoon Jimmy Lai. Flora Bradley-Watson reports.
Since Beijing imposed a sweeping national security law in Hong Kong, over 10,000 people have been arrested for protesting. Following their release, many opposition figures have difficulty finding work.
