U.S. President Trump urged China to release Hong Kong activist Jimmy Lai over health concerns after his conviction on sedition charges.
Trump said he urged Chinese President Xi Jinping to release 78-year-old Jimmy Lai, a Hong Kong pro-democracy media figure, citing health concerns during a meeting in October.
Lai, founder of the banned Apple Daily, was convicted on Monday by Hong Kong’s High Court on charges including conspiring with foreign forces and publishing seditious material, facing potential life imprisonment.
The trial, based on over 2,220 exhibits, drew international scrutiny, with the U.S., UK, and EU expressing concern over the verdict and its implications for free speech and human rights.
China and Hong Kong authorities defended the trial as fair and lawful under the "one country, two systems" framework, while the UK summoned China’s ambassador and called for Lai’s release, urging that his case be a condition for improved relations.
