Full Interview: Jimmy Lai's Son Appeals for His Father’s Release | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Jimmy Lai, a leading pro-democracy advocate, has been imprisoned in Hong Kong under the Beijing-backed National Security Law and is facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars. This week, his son, Sebastien Lai, made an urgent appeal in The New York Post, urging President Donald Trump to take action, asserting that securing his father’s release could serve as a pivotal diplomatic move in U.S.-China relations. Additionally, Sebastien has reached out to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, stressing his father’s British citizenship. Sebastien Lai joins us to provide the latest updates on his father’s trial, the ongoing efforts to secure his release, and how his father’s Catholic faith has given him strength and resilience, even in the face of being denied the Eucharist. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
