Jimmy Lai broke into Hong Kong’s rambunctious media world armed with the belief that delivering information equates with protecting freedom. He is now fighting charges of endangering national security as former publisher of his now-defunct pro-democracy.
Jimmy Lai broke into Hong Kong’s rambunctious media world 30 years ago armed with the belief that delivering information equates with protecting freedom.
The Hong Kong Department of Justice has asked for the trial, which will be overseen by three judges, to be suspended pending a decision from Beijing about Lai’s defense lawyer. Attacks on Giordano by the Chinese government prompted Lai to sell his shares in the business and devote himself to the media world.
Opposition to the bill transformed into months of sometimes violent protests as demands for greater democracy in Hong Kong escalated. The protest movement, which eventually was snuffed out, lacked any clear leader, but Lai’s high profile made him a target of the authorities.
