The editorial board argues Beijing has made its example of through a sham conviction, raising the question of whether China will let him die in prison. Lai 78 and diabetic, is in serious declining health after more than five years in solitary confinement in .

As President Trump negotiates with Beijing, the New York Post's message is clear: "Free Jimmy Lai, before it's too late." We urge to make Lai's immediate release a top priority in every conversation with Xi Jinping.

PRESS RELEASE - More than 100 members of Congress just sent a bipartisan letter urging to prioritize Jimmy Lai's release when he meets Xi Jinping on May 15.

Jimmy Lai is 78 years old. He's spent years in detention — much of it in solitary confinement. His health is deteriorating. And he's now serving a 20-year sentence under Hong Kong's National Security Law for the "crime" of journalism.

"There should be no deals until Jimmy Lai is free." — Jonathan Stivers
"Every day of delay risks irreversible consequences." — .huii

📢 請廣傳，推上 10 萬聯署，逼使國會辯論！

中共摧毀香港自由、違反承諾，迫使香港人流亡海外。經貿辦間諜案進一步揭示，中共假借經貿之名，行滲透之實，打壓在英港人，甚至進行間諜活動。

英國當年基於「一國兩制」，賦予香港特殊地位及待遇。但自從北京實施港區國安法後，《中英聯合聲明》早已被中共單方面撕毀，香港已失去原有承諾嘅高度自治。既然基礎已蕩然無存，點解經貿辦外交特權仍然存在？

保衛英國，捍衛自由！政府必須立即檢討《1996年香港經貿辦法案》 ，取消特權，關閉香港經貿辦！

👉 聯署有乜用？

• 10,000 聯署 → 政府必須正式回應

• 100,000 聯署 → 可推上國會辯論

• 向政府施壓，要求檢討法例、取消特權、關閉經貿辦

【Sign the Petition | Stop Transnational Repression | Shut Down the HKETO】

🖊 Sign the petition here: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/765232

Hong Kongers who fled repression are being followed, photographed, and threatened on British streets.

Who is behind it? In a recent spy case at the Old Bailey, individuals linked to the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) were found guilty. The case exposed how these Hong Kong officials operated in Britain — accessing Home Office-linked data to track activists’ addresses, following them to events, attempting break-ins, infiltrating communities, and gathering intelligence.

HKETOs were given privileges because Hong Kong was supposed to remain free under the Sino-British Joint Declaration. That deal has been broken. Hong Kong’s autonomy is gone. Journalists are jailed. Dissent is criminalised.

So why are we still granting them special status on British soil? Why are we allowing them to spy on and repress people in the UK under diplomatic protection?

👉 Sign the petition. Shut down the HKETO. Protect people in Britain.
