HRIC Condemns the Sham Conviction of Jimmy Lai: The Final Collapse of Hong Kong’s Rule of Law
Human Rights in China (HRIC) strongly condemns the guilty verdict delivered today against pro-democracy advocate and newspaper publisher Jimmy Lai. The ruling by three judges designated under Hong Kong’s National Security Law, convicting Mr. Lai on charges of “collusion with foreign forces” and “sedition,” is a travesty of justice that confirms the complete dismantling of Hong Kong’s once-respected legal system.
The facts of today’s verdict confirm what the world has long known: this was never a genuine trial, but an act of political persecution.
•A Foregone Conclusion: The court has convicted a 78 year-old man of “conspiracy” for practicing journalism and engaging in peaceful advocacy.
•Criminalizing Truth: The prosecution relied on ordinary journalistic activities—publishing articles, communicating with foreign audiences, and calling for accountability—rebranded as crimes of “sedition” and “collusion.”
•Cruel Punishment: Mr. Lai, who has already endured years of harsh detention and declining health, now faces the prospect of life imprisonment. The claim that he “masterminded” a conspiracy is a political fiction designed to silence dissent and intimidate Hong Kong society.
This verdict marks the effective end of the rule of law in Hong Kong. The judiciary has shed its last pretense of independence and has been reduced to an instrument of authoritarian control.
HRIC stands with Jimmy Lai, his family, and the people of Hong Kong. We call on governments, legal institutions, and the international community to reject this verdict, demand Mr. Lai’s immediate and unconditional release, and hold those responsible for this judicial farce accountable.
Journalism is not a crime.
