Son of Hong Kong activist Jimmy Lai denounces political persecution

Foreign ministers from the G7 on December 17 condemned the prosecution of Hong Kong journalist and media entrepreneur Jimmy Lai, who was found guilty of collusion with foreign forces this week. His son, Sebastien Lai, told FRANCE 24 that his father is being persecuted by the Chinese authorities because he ran the famous pro-democracy newspaper Apple Daily, adding that the trial produced 'more than 100 pages of nothing'. Sebastian Lai's presence was also an opportunity to discuss the complicated relationship between Hong Kong and China.
