Hong Kong Court Upholds Convictions of Jimmy Lai, Six Others in 2019 Protest
Aug 12, 2024, 05:13 AM
Hong Kong's top court has unanimously dismissed the appeal by media tycoon Jimmy Lai and six other pro-democracy activists to overturn their convictions related to a 2019 unauthorized assembly. The court's decision upholds the convictions of Lai, Lee Cheuk-yan, Margaret Ng, Long Hair, Cyd Ho, Albert Ho, and Martin Lee, who were found guilty of participating in a protest involving 1.7 million people. This ruling comes amid growing scrutiny of Hong Kong's judiciary, following a series of departures by foreign judges.
