Update: 2025-12-03
Description
Jimmy Lai, a pro-democracy figure and media mogul, is facing severe health issues while imprisoned in Hong Kong. His family reports dramatic weight loss, rotting teeth, and nails falling off. Despite his diabetes and harsh conditions, including solitary confinement and extreme heat, Lai is denied basic comforts like communion and curry sauce. His son, Sebastien, appeals to international leaders for his release, as Lai faces charges that could lead to a fifteen-year sentence. The family hopes for intervention, suggesting it would be humane to allow him to leave Hong Kong.
