All news on the topic: Media Tycoon

A Hong Kong court on Thursday overturned a 2022 fraud conviction against pro-democracy activist and media tycoon Jimmy Lai that had sent him behind bars for nearly six years in one of several criminal cases brought against him in recent years.

The pro-democracy media tycoon faces a potential life sentence after being found guilty of collaborating with foreign forces and publishing seditious material. Rights groups described the ruling as a "sham conviction" and a warning to journalists globally.
