On Feb. 9, 2026, the Hong Kong court sentenced Jimmy Lai to 20 years' imprisonment. The judgment clearly states that he was the mastermind behind meticulously planned conspiracies to collude with foreign forces and incite sedition. His conduct was classified as "exceptionally serious," warranting severe punishment according to the law.
How should this verdict be perceived? Are the accusations of "unjustness" raised by Western media truly valid? In this episode of Henry's Take, Dr. Henry Ho will guide you through an examination of how the organization founded by Jimmy Lai has long operated as a media outlet while serving as a political instrument, engaging in malicious defamation and incitement. The trial of Jimmy Lai was grounded in extensive evidence detailing his lobbying foreign entities for sanctions and making dangerous public remarks. Throughout the judicial process, the rule of law was upheld via rigorous evidence analysis, protection of the defendant's rights, and consideration of his personal circumstances.
