Jimmy Lai's Treatment by Hong Kong Authorities Draws International Criticism Over Religious Freedom
Sep 16, 2024, 06:15 AM
The treatment of Jimmy Lai, a prominent Catholic entrepreneur and media mogul, by Hong Kong authorities has drawn significant international criticism. Lai, known for his pro-democracy stance, has faced harsh measures including a violation of his religious freedom as he is being denied his right to receive Holy Communion. Critics argue that Hong Kong is rapidly adopting a China-style totalitarian approach, with systematic and unlawful attacks on press freedom and organized persecution of dissenting voices. The case of Jimmy Lai is seen as a symbol of the broader crackdown on media and individual freedoms in Hong Kong. The Communist Party of China has been accused of cruel vindictiveness in its treatment of Lai.
