LONDON - Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Nathan Law said on Monday that the “crazy” arrest of media tycoon Jimmy Lai marked the end of freedom of the press in the former British colony and the spread of the politics of fear. Lai, 71, has been one of the most prominent democracy activists in the Chinese-ruled city and an ardent critic of Beijing.

“Crazy arrests,” Law said. “The end of freedom of press in Hong Kong. The national security law is quashing the freedom of our society, spreading politics of fear.”

The law is waiting for Law.

不要把钱花在媒体宣传上了.去像你们的美国爸爸们买点枪.和解放军硬干.我也敬重你们为了革命抛头颅。除了网上抹黑这群人啥事也干不了。

爽了吧。😁。在网上抹黑了几年了。钱没少花.啥事都干不成.一群废物.你们应该去北京.以死明志。我也敬你们是条汉子

UK should respond immediately given that Jimmy Lai is a UKcitizen . If you stay quiet and act slowly, CCP will be emboldened to take even more aggressive actions against the democratic community inside and outside of HK. MagnitskyAct sanctionCCP

Only in authoritarian counties would the police stormed into a press headquarter like this.

Soon only CCP propagandists will be left in HK under the flagrant oppression on press freedom. There will be no access to the truths, just like living in the world of ‘1984’.

Jimmy Lai was arrested. Countless police entered the media office (without showing warrant). Journalistic materials are being searched. Pro-dem & foreign media are barred from entering. Do u still believe press freedom exists in HK?

Press freedom is completely gone.

He is not a pro-democracy activist. He is trying to split the country and the turbulent society in the name of democracy.

Which one should be solved first? Your opinions are valuable. Pls do it.

You can thank me too
