Jimmy Lai Trial Set to Resume August 14 | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

The trial of Jimmy Lai—a Catholic pro-democracy advocate currently in prison in Hong Kong—is set to resume on August 14. Lai was arrested five years ago, on August 10, 2020, under the Beijing-backed National Security Law. He faces charges of collusion with foreign forces and conspiracy to defraud. He was granted bail the following day. In December 2020, however, his bail was revoked, and he was placed back in jail. Sources report that Lai has been subjected to prolonged solitary confinement with no natural light and has not been provided access to the Eucharist. To provide more insight, Gordon Chang, Senior Fellow at the Gateshead Institute and author of The Coming Collapse of China, joins to discuss Lai's condition, the expected developments in his national security trial, and the broader international response to Jimmy Lai’s charges and trial. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
