Hongkong Court Sentences Jimmy Lai to 20 Years in Prison

A Hongkong court has sentenced pro-democracy activist and media mogul Jimmy Lai to 20 years in prison for "collusion with foreign forces" and "inciting subversion". The 78-year-old founder of the now-defunct Apple Daily newspaper has already served two years and will have to serve an additional 18 years. Lai's family and human rights organizations have condemned the sentence, calling it "practically a death sentence" and "cruel and unjust".
