Hong Kong court finds media tycoon Jimmy Lai guilty of sedition, foreign collusion

Hong Kong's highest court has found former media mogul Jimmy Lai guilty of sedition and conspiring to collude with foreign powers. 78-year-old Lai is known as the territory's most outspoken critic of Beijing. He was convicted under a controversial national security law, imposed by Beijing after massive antigovernment protests in 2019. Lai was arrested five years ago and had pleaded not guilty. With Monday's conviction he could be in prison for the rest of his life. Al Jazeera’s Patrick Fok is monitoring developments in Hong Kong. Elaine Pearson is the Asia director for Human Rights Watch. She said the verdict is designed to silence dissent.
