#HongKong
Hong Kong pro-democracy activist, media tycoon Jimmy Lai’s #UK legal team received anonymous emails warning them against travelling to the city to defend him, said they allegedly violate the national security law.
The Hong Kong Communist govt is intimidating the attorneys who are independently and professionally representing their client.
One of his attorneys said they has filed an urgent appeal with the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention.
Sebastien Lai, Jimmy Lai’s son, is also calling on the #UN & the U.K. Government “to speak out for my dad & stand up to those who wish to silence him.”
