Nadia Massih is pleased to welcome Sebastien Lai, son of Hong Kong’s media tycoon and pro‑democracy activist Jimmy Lai. He describes his 78-year-old father, sentenced to 20 years in prison for challenging China’s hardline system, as a man of conviction who stands fearlessly for truth, democracy, and human dignity. Lai’s spirit remains intact despite his deteriorating health, says Sebastien. He challenges the UK and other democracies across the globe to stand by press freedom, civil rights, and justice, over diplomacy.
