A British judge, involved in a controversial ruling against Jimmy Lai and six former pro-democracy lawmakers in Hong Kong, has resigned from an advisory board of an international media freedom group.
The judge faced significant backlash for upholding the conviction of Jimmy Lai, a prominent figure in the pro-democracy movement and a media tycoon, under a national security law imposed by China. This move has sparked a debate on the independence of Hong Kong's judiciary and its implications for freedom of speech and the rule of law. The resignation underscores the growing international concern over Hong Kong's judicial decisions and their alignment with Beijing's tightening grip on the city.
