On Monday, HKSAR Chief Executive John Lee welcomed the conviction of Jimmy Lai, saying the verdict upholds justice and safeguards the city's core values ⚖️
Lee accused Lai of using media platforms to incite hatred, create division, glorify violence, and call for foreign sanctions against mainland China and the HKSAR. He stressed the ruling upholds the rule of law and sends a clear message: no one may endanger national security under the pretext of freedom or democracy 🔒
For many in Hong Kong and beyond, this decision shines a spotlight on how authorities are navigating the delicate balance between security and civil liberties. 🌏
