Jimmy Lai Chee Ying arrving at the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Court, Hong Kong, Oct. 15, 2020. / Yung Chi Wai Derek/Shutterstock CNA Staff, Feb 9, 2021 / 11:34 am (CNA).- Hong Kong’s highest court on Tuesday denied bail to Catholic media tycoon Jimmy Lai, whom police arrested last summer for apparent violations of a new China-imposed national security law. Lai, an entrepreneur and billionaire, is perhaps the most high-profile detainee under the new law, which Beijing imposed directly on the island territory on July 1, 2020. A band of nearly 200 police officers arrested Lai on Aug. 10, 2020, along with at least nine others connected to Apple Daily, the newspaper Lai founded in 1995, as part of an apparent crackdown on civil liberties in Hong Kong.
