20 years for a China critic: Former media tycoon’s jailing signals the end of an era for Hong Kong’s press

Jimmy Lai, the pro-democracy former Hong Kong media tycoon and a fierce critic of Beijing, was sentenced on Monday to 20 years in prison in the longest punishment given so far under a China-imposed national security law that has virtually silenced the city’s dissent.

Jimmy Lai Got a 20-Year Sentence for Saying Things the Chinese Government Didn't Like

China's "national security law" was perfectly tailored to zero in on someone like Lai, who vigorously pushed for democracy, freedom of speech, and government reform in Hong Kong.
