______________________
The trial of Jimmy Lai is part on an ongoing global attack on free speech and free media. Authoritarian states around the world are cracking on journalists. The UK and other democracies must explore ways to fight back against this trend and highlight the erosion of the rule of law and media freedom.
The Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong Foundation hopes you can join this timely discussion about Jimmy Lai and the fight for media freedom.
