Jimmie Lai: Bail Denied

Hong Kong activist Jimmie Lai, has been ordered back to jail in Hong Kong after an Appeal Court judge denied his appeal to remain free while his case is pending. Jimmie Lai, a supporter of democracy in Hong Kong, was charged with violating newly imposed laws against protests and protesters in Hong Kong by the Communist government in Beijing. He had traveled to Washington, DC, in 2019 and discussed the situation in Hong KOng while students protested te moves by Beijing to arrest democracy activists and journalists who spoke out against the policies meant to silence protests against these same laws. Citizens were concerned when certain individuals were taken fron HK to China and held for a year or more without any charges filed against them. HK leader Carrie Lam was under considerable pressure to support all Beijing's actions against protesters. She in turn, supported the pro- Beijing laws. Jimmie Lai spoke out against her and Beijing. And now he's in prison. How long in prison? NObody knows, least of all, Jimmie.
