Jimmy Lai is currently in a Hong Kong prison. Reports are that he is forced to spend much of his time in a small solitary-confinement cell.  Convicted of foreign collusion, lease violation, and unauthorized assembly--he is scheduled to be released no sooner than 2028.  

Lai spent decades becoming a very successful clothing retailer and media mogul.  As he was a vocal activist for democracy, the CCP contemptuously watched his activities.  Because Lai owns homes in Europe and North America, he could have likely avoided his sentence.  Yet, he faced his fate as a political martyr.
