4/4 As @thecfhk's @frances_hui warns, time is running out.

Defending journalism, democracy, and free speech must come with real consequences for repression.

#FreeJimmyLai

[Doublethink Lab @doublethinklab]

DTL stands with @thecfhk in urging @POTUS & Congress to act on #JimmyLai’s case. At 78, the pro-democracy activist remains imprisoned for defending freedom. As Hong Kongers continue to unjustly suffer under the NSL, international pressure has never been more crucial.

It was a privilege to host our Ukrainian partners last week. Even in the middle of a full-scale war, they continue sharing hard-earned lessons to help Taiwan prepare for hybrid threats and strengthen its readiness.
