The High Court of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) on Monday sentenced media tycoon Jimmy Lai Chee-ying to 20 years in prison.
Lai was convicted on December 15, 2025, of two counts of conspiring to collude with external forces and one count of conspiracy to publish seditious materials. Evidence presented during his trial, which began in December 2023, included over 2,220 exhibits demonstrating his role in campaigns urging foreign sanctions and actions deemed aimed at destabilizing Hong Kong.
HKSAR Chief Executive John Lee said the verdict reflects the rule of law and core values of Hong Kong. The sentencing has received widespread political and public support.
