Hong Kong Criticizes UK Lawyers for UN Appeal on Behalf of Jimmy Lai

The Hong Kong government has criticized UK lawyers representing Jimmy Lai for appealing to the United Nations, alleging his prolonged solitary confinement and poor health conditions. The government rejects these claims, stating they undermine the rule of law.
The Hong Kong government has expressed strong dissatisfaction with UK-based lawyers representing former media tycoon Jimmy Lai and his son, Sebastien Lai, for defaming the city's judicial system.

The legal team appealed to the UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Alice Edwards, alleging Jimmy Lai’s prolonged solitary confinement at Stanley Prison and Lai Chi Kok Reception Centre over the past 3½ years with minimal sun exposure and exercise, which they claim has harmed his health.

The government refutes these allegations and emphasizes that the legal team’s actions have undermined the rule of law.
