Jimmy Lai, 77, founder of Apple Daily, is facing life imprisonment under Hong Kong’s #nationalsecuritylaw. Prosecutors allege he colluded with foreign forces and published seditious material. His meetings with U.S. officials and calls for sanctions were framed as hostile acts—not free speech. Lai’s defense argues he was exercising his right to advocate for democracy and press freedom. After over 1,600 days in solitary confinement, Lai appeared in court visibly thinner, suffering heart palpitations and collapse-like episodes. His son called the conditions “a form of torture,” especially in Hong Kong’s sweltering heat. #JimmyLai#HongKong#PressFreedom#HumanRights#StandWithHongKong 77歲的《蘋果日報》創辦人黎智英，正面臨《港區國安法》下的終身監禁。控方指他與外國勢力勾結，並發布煽動性材料。他與美國官員的會面及呼籲制裁，被視為敵對行為，而非言論自由的表現。 辯方強調，黎智英只是行使言論自由，為民主與新聞自由發聲。但控方卻表示，黎以思想與結社自由作為「盾牌」令人驚訝。 黎智英已在獄中獨囚逾1,600日，近日出庭時身形消瘦，並出現心悸與接近昏倒的症狀。其子形容獄中環境如「酷刑」，尤其在炎熱的夏。 #黎智英#香港#新聞自由#人權#撐香港
