The son of jailed Hong Kong media mogul and prominent pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai says he doesn't want to see his father die in detention, as his lawyers raised the prospect that his long-delayed trial may be pushed back indefinitely.
His son Sebastien Lai, 28, and his lawyers have described the case as a “show trial.” They suggested that Hong Kong authorities may delay the trial date further not only because they have a weak case, but also because there is no benefit to them for Lai to air his views during a public hearing that’s expected to last two to three months.
“If they are willing to sacrifice human rights for trade I think it’s a big misstep,” Lai told reporters. “We’re seeing very mixed messaging from the government as a whole,” she said. “We think there’s an element of the U.K. government speaking out of both sides of its mouth — on the one hand it says something about Jimmy Lai’s case, and throws us some breadcrumbs, and on the other hand they take that away by pushing the message that it’s business as usual.
