Today, a kangaroo court in Hong Kong found publisher Jimmy Lai guilty in its first-ever “collusion with foreign forces” trial under Beijing’s National Security Law for meetings and editorials calling for support for Hong Kong. Jimmy Lai is 78, a British citizen, and has already spent over 1,800 days in prison, mostly in solitary confinement. He is guilty only of believing Hong Kong people deserve freedom. If governments say they stand for press freedom and the rule of law, this is the moment to prove it, says Frances Hui 許穎婷 #JimmyLai #HongKong #PressFreedom #HumanRights #FreeJimmyLai #NationalSecurityLaw #PoliticalPrisoner #FrancesHui

During the G20 & COP update today, I returned the Prime Minister to his meeting with President Xi. I've been in contact with many Hong Kong refugees here, who fled Hong Kong, and they were worried about the Prime Minister’s failure to condemn the arrests & sentences of the pro-democracy 45 and to call for their release, and that of Jimmy Lai. I do not believe the Prime Minister really answered the question properly. I asked if the Prime Minister condemned the Chinese Government for their arrest and incarceration of the 45 peaceful democracy campaigners, and would call for them to release the campaigners and Jimmy Lai immediately, because they are in breach of the Sino-British agreement? This time the Prime Minister answered...
