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.
