The newspaper publisher and later pro-democracy activist has been accused of sedition and colluding with foreign forces, all in breach of the territory's harsh national security law.
Of those who've been prosecuted under these laws...

Our correspondent Danny Vincent was in court for the verdict.
Now, as you mentioned, Jimmy Lai has already been in jail.

And he's reported to be in poor health.

When it comes to the war in Ukraine, Donald Trump has complained that European politicians spend too much time just talking.
But in fact, his own emissaries have also spent plenty of time talking to the parties in this conflict.
The latest talking took place in Berlin on Sunday, when the US envoy Steve Witkoff and Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner met with Ukraine's President Zelensky, as so often in the past.
The US delegation insisted that progress had been made.
Europe editor Katja Adler is in Berlin and says the US certainly wants that to be the case.
