Hong Kong, December 31 (ANI): Hong Kong pro-democracy media tycoon Jimmy Lai has been ordered back to jail on Thursday as the city s highest court sided with the prosecution s request to deny him bail, Al Jazeera reported.
Lai, a vocal Beijing critic, is one of the highest-profile figures charged under a sweeping security law that China imposed on the financial hub in late June in a bid to stamp out dissent.
He was granted bail last week and allowed to return to his home. He was taken to custody almost three weeks ago.
