#Free #JimmyLai" – Campaign for world attention on Hong Kong #HumanRights and Press Freedom
On Chinese New Year’s eve (Jan 31), a series of transatlantic illuminations aiming to draw international attention on China's #authoritarian rule over Hong Kong were seen on the walls of Tower Bridge in London and Chinese Embassy in Washington DC.
Bright white lights reading "Free Jimmy Lai and the Apple 7" of three storey tall were projected onto the walls.
In addition, the illuminations also showed the "Olympics rings in thorns", a portrait of Jimmy Lai and a yellow umbrella, the symbol of the 2014 Umbrella Movement in Hong Kong.
The US-based designer, Robin Bell said his intention was to grab people's attention on Human Rights around the world.
Mark L. Clifford, president of the Committee for Freedom in Hong Kong, shared photographs of the illuminations on his Twitter page, calling the upcoming #WinterOlympics in #Beijing " the most shameful Olympics since the 1936 Nazi Olympics in Berlin”.
