HONG KONG—Jailed Hong Kong media tycoon and dissident of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Jimmy Lai was given a new prison sentence of 14 months on Friday over his role in a pro-democracy assembly on Oct. 1, 2019.
This month, Lai—who is already serving sentences adding up to 14 months for participating in similar demonstrations on Aug. 18 and Aug. 31, 2019—and nine other activists pleaded guilty in District Court to organizing an unauthorized assembly.
