Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai was arrested under Beijing’s new national security law for the city, sending a chill across the global financial hub. Here is what people are saying about Lai’s arrest
HONG KONG - Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai was arrested on Monday under Beijing’s new national security law for the city, sending a chill across the global financial hub.
Lai, 71, has been one of the most prominent democracy activists in the Chinese-ruled city and an ardent critic of Beijing, which imposed the sweeping new law on Hong Kong just before midnight on June 30. “The Hong Kong Police Force blocked several local and international media outlets from a press briefing at the Apple Daily headquarters about the events.”
“I think somewhere in third-world countries there has been such kind of press freedom suppression, just didn’t expect it to be in Hong Kong.”
