    Hong Kong leader says Jimmy Lai’s sentence ‘deserved’ after all the harm committed

    -

    HONG KONG, ​Feb 10 (Reuters) - Hong Kong leader John Lee ⁠said on Tuesday media tycoon and democracy campaigner ‍Jimmy Lai deserved the ​20-year jail sentence handed down to him by a ​court this week after all the harm he had done.

    Lee was speaking a ‌day after Hong Kong's most ‌vocal China critic, Lai, ​was sentenced on Monday to 20 years in ‌jail on two counts ⁠of conspiracy to collude ‌with foreign ​forces and one for publishing seditious materials.
