Jimmy Lai's Son Pleads with President Trump for His Father's Freedom | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

For four years, a prominent pro-democracy advocate, Jimmy Lai, has been imprisoned in Hong Kong under the Beijing-backed National Security Law, facing the possibility of spending the rest of his life behind bars. His case has drawn international attention, with growing calls for intervention as concerns mount over his health and well-being. This week, his son, Sebastien Lai, issued a direct appeal in The New York Post, urging President Donald Trump to step in, arguing that securing his father’s freedom could be a key diplomatic step in U.S.-China relations. He has also reached out to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, emphasizing his father’s British citizenship. Sebastien Lai joins us to share the latest on his father’s trial, the ongoing efforts to secure his release, and how his father’s Catholic faith has sustained him during his years in prison. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
