Hong Kong's Jimmy Lai Faces Sentencing After National Security Conviction
Jimmy Lai, a pro-democracy former media tycoon from Hong Kong, is set to be sentenced following his conviction under a Beijing-imposed national security law. Lai, the founder of the now-defunct Apple Daily newspaper, was convicted in December and could face life imprisonment. His trial has been a focal point for international criticism, particularly from the U.S. and U.K., who have expressed concerns over press freedom in Hong Kong. Lai was found guilty of conspiring with foreign forces and publishing seditious articles, charges he has denied.
