"This is the last interview of Jimmy Lai as a free man."
It's saddening to see Jimmy Lai wept when he talked about the fear of suppression on his family.
Many activists in Hong Kong are jailed today, once again, for participating in peaceful rallies.

Jimmy Lai, billionaire owner of Hong Kong’s last opposition newspaper, sentenced to year in prison over role in anti-Beijing protests https://t.co/F0HYfUM5VE
A Hong Kong judge sentenced newspaper publisher Jimmy Lai to a year in jail after he was convicted on charges related to a peaceful protest in 2019 https://t.co/9LepynXA15
Today's sentencing of 9 prominent pro-democracy activists in HK for a peaceful assembly is a travesty, including the jailing of Jimmy Lai, Lee Cheuk-yan, Leung Kwok-hung, Au Nok-hin & Cyd Ho.
An appalling fact:
After being sentenced in total for 14 months in two cases, there are still one National Security Law charge and four criminal charges pending on Jimmy Lai.
The judicial system is weaponized to persecute democratic activists in Hong Kong.
#StandwithHongKong
I condemn in strongest terms the absurd sentencing of Jimmy Lai, Martin Lee and other pro-democratic leaders in #HongKong.
Words are no longer enough, EU leaders must impose sanctions on HK officials, as demanded by the European Parliament.

The Myanmar junta doesn't even dare to expose its prosecution of protesters to public scrutiny: it is trying them in prison courts where "only the judge, the law officer, and the defense lawyer are allowed to attend." Even family members are barred. https://t.co/Lvltvh5H67
