“ My dad's only 'crime' is to campaign for democracy in the face of tyranny, but for that he has already spent over two years in prison and faces the rest of his life behind bars. ” These powerful words were spoken by the son of Jimmy Lai, symbol of the fight for journalistic free speech in Hong Kong and 2020 RSF Press Freedom laureate, who has been subjected to totally unacceptable judicial persecution and is facing a possible life sentence.
Sign this petition to show your support for Jimmy Lai and for all press freedom defenders in Hong Kong by calling on the Hong Kong authorities to drop the charges against him and free him at once!

Detained since December 2020, the 74-year-old Jimmy Lai is accused of “colluding with foreign forces” under the National Security Law, which the Chinese authorities adopted in order to crush dissent in Hong Kong. The founder of the independent Apple Daily newspaper has never ceased to resist constant political persecution. From prison, he has called on journalists to “stand tall and keep your heads high.”
Let’s fight together for democracy in Hong Kong, the last rampart in the fight against Xi Jinping’s Chinese predatory system.
Thanks for your support.
