Sebastien Lai, son of Pro-democracy Hong Kong activist Jimmy Lai, poses for a portrait in central London on November 26, 2024. The son of Hong Kong pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai told AFP Tuesday that his father's ongoing trial in the Chinese territory was a "sham", but that he was "proud" of how he was handling himself in court. The 76-year-old media tycoon has been testifying for three days as he answers charges that he colluded with foreign forces, an offence carrying up to life in prison under the sweeping national security law Beijing imposed on the financial hub in mid-2020.
