Jimmy Lai is risking everything for democracy. We can't ignore what China is doing
Fox News
Jimmy Lai receives 20-year sentence in Chinese court for running pro-democracy newspaper, marking brutal persecution designed to crush Hong Kong's remaining freedoms.
The manner in which Lai’s case has been conducted is morally obscene. He has been denied the right to choose his own legal counsel. His lawyers have been harassed. His newspaper was shuttered by force. Rev. Robert Sirico, author of The Economics of the Parables and of Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy, is co-founder and president emeritus of the Acton Institute.
We must hope that Lai’s story instead endures as an indictment of China’s regime.
Not for violence, espionage or corruption. Lai’s crime was to have run a newspaper, Apple Daily, that gave coverage to Hong Kong’s pro-democracy movement and reported critically on the city’s Beijing-appointed overseers.
