His imprisonment has drawn sharp rebukes and calls for clemency from supporters including Catholic bishops.
Lai was originally arrested in August 2020 under that year’s controversial national security law, which was passed by China’s communist-controlled government.
Lai’s son, Sebastian Lai, said that Hong Kong “has always been a litmus test of how China views the freedoms that we all share here.”
