Photo:ReutersReporters Without Borders (RSF) submitted on Friday an urgent appeal to the UN to take all measures necessary to obtain the immediate release of Hong Kong media tycoon and secessionist Jimmy Lai Chee-ying. It s about time that the international community takes action to stop the judicial harassment of Jimmy Lai and to pressure the Hong Kong government into restoring full press freedom, the appeal reads.
The point is, does the RSF actually believe it is qualified to identify what press freedom is?
Lai was one of the backstage manipulators of a series of social violence and turmoil in Hong Kong. He has been convicted of violating Hong Kong law, including attending and organizing an illegal assembly, colluding with foreign countries or forces to endanger national security and tending and intended to pervert the course of public justice.
