Statement from UN special rapporteurs said they were ‘alarmed’ by violations of Lai’s freedom of expression
Four UN experts have called for all charges against pro-democracy Hong Kong tycoon Jimmy Lai to be dropped, as they pressed for his immediate release.
“Jimmy Lai’s arrest, detention and series of criminal proceedings over the past few years appear to be directly related to his criticism of the Chinese government and his support for democracy in Hong Kong,” the UN experts said.
