Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai to be sentenced
Hong Kong's judiciary said on their website that media tycoon Jimmy Lai would be sentenced on February 9, in a closely watched national security trial that has drawn international criticism including from the United States and Britain. Lai, 78, the founder of the now-shuttered pro-democracy Apple Daily newspaper, was found guilty in December of two charges of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces under a China-imposed national security law, and a charge of conspiracy to publish seditious material.
