Pope : May the apostolic zeal of Blessed Fr. Moisés encourage priests Pope Francis urges release of Hamas hostages, end of conflict in Israel and Palestine
Pope Francis and the Vatican, together with Hong Kong’s Cardinal Stephen Chow, must now raise Lai’s case with the Chinese and Hong Kong authorities urgently, and speak out for him publicly. Catholics around the world should be encouraged by the Church to pray for Lai. If convicted of the charge of “conspiracy to collude with foreign forces,” under the National Security Law which was imposed on Hong Kong by Beijing in June 2020, Lai could face life imprisonment.
"It is always unlawful for a prisoner to be subjected to torture and other cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment" to the authorities in China, raising concerns that evidence from a key prosecution witness had been obtained through torture — a grave charge that should rule such evidence inadmissible.
Bringing Lai’s plight to the attention of the UN again comes at the same time that the Hong Kong Journalists Association hasthe harassment, online and offline, of reporters from at least 13 media outlets in Hong Kong in a “systematic and organized attack.”
