Four Jimmy Lai Cases in a Day Show Hong Kong Silencing Activists

Four Jimmy Lai Cases in a Day Show Hong Kong Silencing Activists Bloomberg 2 hrs ago Iain Marlow and Chloe Lo (Bloomberg) On Friday alone, Hong Kong media tycoon and pro-democracy activist Jimmy Lai faces four separate court appearances, a sign of the severity with which authorities are cracking down on dissent in the former British colony. Lai, owner of the pro-democracy Apple Daily newspaper, is scheduled to be sentenced on charges related to unauthorized protests in a pair of hearings starting at 2:30 p.m. Then he’ll attend a hearing to kick off a fraud case related to his company’s office space and begin what could be the most serious trial under Hong Kong’s sweeping national security law.

Biden picks energy lawyer with Alaska ties as Interior s No 2 official

Print article WASHINGTON The White House is naming Tommy Beaudreau, a former Obama administration official, to be deputy secretary at the Interior Department after dropping plans for a more liberal nominee who faced key Senate opposition. President Joe Biden on Wednesday nominated Beaudreau, a former chief of staff at the department who was the first director of the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. The agency, created after the disastrous BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, oversees offshore drilling and wind power. Beaudreau grew up in Alaska and is politically close to Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a former chair of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee who holds great sway over oil drilling, endangered species and other department issues. Murkowski and West Virginia Sen. Joe Manchin, a Democrat who now heads that committee, opposed Biden’s plan to nominate former Interior Department official Elizabeth Klein as deputy secretary.
