Hong Kong court convicts democracy activist Jimmy Lai on conspiracy charges
The High Court of Hong Kong has convicted pro-democracy activist and newspaper founder Jimmy Lai on three charges related to accusations that he undermined China’s national security, as part of a widely scrutinised trial.Lai now faces the possibility of a life sentence in prison.
On Monday morning, a panel of three judges found Lai, 78, guilty of two counts of conspiring with foreign forces to threaten national security and one count of conspiracy to publish seditious material.
Lai had pleaded not guilty to all the charges. He has been in detention since December 2020, when he was arrested in the midst of a series of antigovernment protests that gripped Hong Kong.
The case has been seen as a test of Hong Kong’s “one country, two systems” principle, which was established after the former British colony was returned to China in 1997.
Al Jazeera’s Patrick Fok reports from Hong Kong.
Tom Grundy is the editor-in-chief of the Hong Kong Free Press.
He says the verdict further restricts media freedom in Hong Kong.
