Jimmy Lai, Hong Kong’s prominent pro-democracy prisoner and media mogul, was sentenced to 20 years in prison under Beijing’s sweeping national security law on Monday in a high-profile case that has dragged on for five years.
Lai, the founder of the now-shuttered Apple Daily newspaper, was first arrested in August 2020 and found guilty late last year on two counts of foreign collusion and one count of seditious publication.
