"David Cameron Urges Hong Kong to Free Jimmy Lai Amidst Security Trial"
Former UK Prime Minister David Cameron has called on Hong Kong to release British citizen Jimmy Lai, a pro-democracy newspaper publisher facing a politically motivated prosecution under China's national security law. Lai, charged with colluding with foreign forces and publishing seditious material, could face a life sentence if convicted. Cameron condemned the charges, stating that the national security law breaches the Sino-British joint declaration and has eroded rights and freedoms in Hong Kong. He urged the Chinese authorities to repeal the law and called on Hong Kong to end Lai's prosecution and release him.
