Jimmy Lai's resilience against Hong Kong's regime.

Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai, a supporter of the island's independence from China, is now a political prisoner of the Chinese Communist Party. Lai, who was once a leader of a free-press news outlet in Hong Kong, is 75 years old, but Beijing regards him as a deadly threat. Many freedom activists have been jailed only to see the corrupt and despotic governments that imprison them fall. The European Parliament, United Nations, and US lawmakers have all called for Lai's release.
