Mike Pompeo and Mike Pence go to bat for imprisoned Hong Kong media tycoon #JimmyLai
Top US officials are speaking out against the arrest and imprisonment of Hong Kong media tycoon Jimmy Lai, the founder of Apple Daily.
U.S. Secretary of State #MikePompeo tweeted on the morning of Dec 12, 2020 (Asia time) that the Hong Kong's national security law “makes a mockery of justice.” He called for Lai's release, saying his only crime is speaking the truth about China's authoritarian Communist Party government.
Separately, US Vice President #MikePence also tweeted in support of Lai, “Today’s charges against Jimmy Lai in Hong Kong are an affront to freedom loving people around everywhere.”
Pence wrote. “Jimmy Lai is a hero and I remain inspired by his stand for democracy & the rights that were promised to the people of Hong Kong.”

What's happening to #AndyLi & #JimmyLai is much more beyond the surface. #NationalSecurityPolice is targeting activist group "Stand With Hong Kong" (SWHK) since Andy Li is deeply connected with the group.
That means, a lot more people will be under the radar. We don't know what the police has done to Andy, but obviously, he will admit to anything they want him to admit and gain any information by hacking into his phone.
