Hong Kong media tycoon Lai tells staff to ‘fight on’
HONG KONG, Aug 12, 2020 (BSS/AFP) – Hong Kong pro-democracy media tycoon
Jimmy Lai told staff to “fight on” on Wednesday as he visited his newsroom a
day after he was released on bail following his arrest under a new national
security law imposed by Beijing.
“Fight on! Let’s fight on,” Lai told reporters at his Apple Daily newspaper
in footage broadcast live on Facebook. “We have the support of the Hong Kong
people. We can’t let them down.”
