About this sermon
It is the second day of the trial of a Catholic pro-democracy advocate in Hong Kong. Jimmy Lai faces a possible life sentence if convicted under a China-backed National Security Law. Lawyers for the former newspaper and magazine publisher are attempting to have the charges thrown out. A judge is expected to rule by the end of the week. Otherwise, the trial is expected to run around 3 months. Lai was arrested in August 2020. Today, he arrived in court with a large police presence, even though he has never been convicted of a violent offense. Jonathan Price, on the legal team representing Jimmy Lai, joins to tell us how Lai is doing health-wise. Price shares whether he thinks it is possible for his client to get a fair trial given the fact that Hong Kong is backed by China. Price discusses the charges Lai is facing and why so many in favor of democracy are sounding the alarm about this case. Jimmy Lai converted to Catholicism. He was baptized under the former cardinal for Hong Kong - Joseph Zen. Price explains whether he thinks his religion is factoring into this case as well. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
