When will Hong Kong stop being a Special Administrative Region of China?

Jimmy Lai, a 78-year-old British citizen and founder of the now-shuttered Apple Daily newspaper, was sentenced to 20 years in prison in February after being convicted in December on two counts of conspiracy to collude with foreign forces and one count of conspiracy to publish seditious material.

Lai's legal team confirmed he will not appeal his conviction or sentence, ending a nearly five-year legal saga. The lawyers did not provide a reason for the decision not to lodge an appeal against conviction or sentence.

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer raised Lai's case during a meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping in Beijing in January. UK Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper called the 20-year sentence an effective life sentence following a politically motivated prosecution.

US President Donald Trump is expected to visit China between March 31 and April 2 to meet with Xi Jinping. Trump previously said he asked Xi to consider releasing Lai and told reporters he felt badly about the case.

Chinese and Hong Kong authorities defended Lai's conviction, saying it reflected the rule of law and that the case has nothing to do with press freedom. Hong Kong leader John Lee lauded the severe prison term as a demonstration of the city's rule of law.

UN rights chief Volker Turk called for the verdict to be promptly quashed as incompatible with international law. Lai's family has warned he could die in prison due to health conditions including diabetes, heart palpitations and high blood pressure.
