YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Sebastien Lai, son of British citizen and pro-democracy media mogul Jimmy Lai, who is imprisoned in Hong Kong, says his father is being punished for “standing up for the freedoms that underpin our democracy”.

While foreign secretary David Lammy met the Chinese foreign minister, prime minister Sir Keir Starmer has called 76-year-old Jimmy's release a priority for the UK government.

Sebastian talks to Sky's Matt Barbet about the situation in Hong Kong, highlighting the number of pro-democracy activists that are being prosecuted, saying that "this is reality now".
