Jimmy Lai, a 77-year-old Hong Kong pro-democracy activist and former publisher of Apple Daily, remains imprisoned. A self-made billionaire, Lai chose to stay in Hong Kong and fight for freedom despite the risks, even after the CCP takeover in 1997. His unwavering commitment to democracy, despite facing imprisonment, places him among historical figures like Nelson Mandela and Václav Havel. Lai's case highlights the ongoing struggle for freedom and human rights in Hong Kong.
