Marco Rubio, Secretary of State

The guilty verdict in Mr. Lai’s national security case reflects the enforcement of Beijing’s laws to silence those who seek to protect freedom of speech and other fundamental rights — rights that China pledged to uphold in the 1984 Sino-British Joint Declaration. Mr. Lai is not alone in facing punishment for defending these rights. 

Reports indicate that Mr. Lai’s health has severely deteriorated during more than 1,800 days in prison. We urge the authorities to bring this ordeal to an end as soon as possible and to release Mr. Lai on humanitarian grounds.
