“Beijing’s public enemy No 1” – a title that defines the fate of the media mogul Jimmy Lai.A self-made millionaire, a British citizen and an unapologetic opponent of China’s authoritarian regime, he now sits behind bars, facing a 20-year sentence under Hong Kong’s draconian national security law.Camilla and Tim speak exclusively to Sebastien Lai, Jimmy’s son, about his father’s deteriorating health, his disappointment with Sir Keir Starmer and the British Government’s “lacklustre” response, and why he is pinning his hopes for his father’s freedom on Donald Trump ahead of the US president’s visit to China.We want to hear from you!
