"My father wrote his story with sweat on his brow, freedom in his spirit, and courage in his heart. We can add to the annals of democracy by fighting for his freedom."

This week at the Copenhagen Democracy Summit, Sebastien Lai accepted the Award for Courage on behalf of his father, Jimmy Lai.

Jimmy Lai has been nominated by congressional leaders for the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize.

The founder of Apple Daily and a longtime champion of free speech and democracy, Lai has spent over four years behind bars—targeted for daring to speak truth to power in Hong Kong.

His nomination, led by Rep. Chris Smith, joins that of four other imprisoned human rights defenders across China—Uyghur scholar Ilham Tohti, Mongol activist Hada, Pastor Wang Yi, and journalist Sophia Huang Xueqin.

At a time when authoritarianism is on the rise, honoring Lai would send a clear message: peaceful resistance matters. And the world is watching.

#JimmyLai was incredibly careful not to condone violence and in fact was instrumental in conveying a message of non-violent protest to students from renowned US civil rights campaigner John Lewis. Read @_Troublemak3r_ for the truth. #FreeJimmyLai

The son of jailed pro-democracy media magnate Jimmy Lai has warned that “time is running out” for his father’s health, and called on Britain and the United States to push for his release.

We stand in solidarity with #JimmyLai’s legal team @caoilfhionnanna, @TatyanaEatwell and @J0nathanPrice, who have been targeted by Chinese state intimidation, surveillance and threats. These acts of transnational repression must not be tolerated.

🗞️ BREAKING 🗞️

The European Parliament has passed by an overwhelming majority an urgent Resolution calling for Jimmy Lai’s immediate and unconditional release.

Today, the European Parliament passed a resolution with an overwhelming majority on the sham trial of Hong Kong media entrepreneur Jimmy Lai and the convictions on trumped-up charges of pro-democracy activists known as the Hong Kong 47.

During the last years, Chinese and Hong Kong authorities have introduced various national security laws aimed at suppressing the democratic opposition in the city. Fearful of their own citizens exercising their fundamental rights, they punished Lai and the HK47 for their commitment to democracy and freedom of expression.

The excellent cooperation between EPP, S&D, Greens, ECR, and Renew enabled us to have a strong text in support of victims of CCP repression in Hong Kong.

The text calls for the
-release of Lai and the Hong Kong 47,
-sanctions against Chinese and HK officials,
-urges the Member States to file an ICJ case against China's decision to impose the NSL on HK and Macau,
-the termination of HK's favourable customs treatment,
-the review of the status of the HK Economic Trade Office in Brussels,
-an EU legal defence fund in support of democracy activists in HK and
-support for journalists in the territory,
- condemnation of the exploitation of Hong Kong’s global trade position to evade international sanctions.

🚨 @Europarl_EN passes resolution following #HongKong47 sentencing, calling for targeted sanctions on Hong Kong officials

@MiriamMLex, Hong Kong Watch Patron and Co-Chair of @ipacglobal, said: “We must continue to make every effort to make it loud and clear that the PRC and Hong Kong government officials will face consequences, including targeted sanctions, for sentencing innocent pro-democracy activists and repressing fundamental freedoms which are guaranteed under international law.”

It is both a moral obligation & a security necessity to stand with Hong Kong!
