Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai Chee-ying was arrested early on Monday on suspicion of breaching the city’s new national security law, the Post has learned.

Sources said Lai was detained by officers from the new police unit enforcing the security legislation at his residence in Kadoorie Avenue, Ho Man Tin shortly after daybreak.

“He was arrested for collusion with a foreign country, uttering seditious words and conspiracy to defraud,” one source told the Post about the founder of the tabloid-style Apple Daily.

This time those instant-noodle head will not be able to grant Jimmy Lai a bail out. Those HK judge better watch their back. I am sure China already has evidence that many of them work for CIA/MI6.

Epic fail, Jimmy Lai has been released:-

National security law: Hong Kong media mogul Jimmy Lai pledges to keep Apple Daily running as he returns to the newsroom after his arrest

• Lai receives hero’s welcome on arrival at the Apple Daily office soon after his release on police bail
• He was arrested on suspicion of colluding with foreign forces under the national security law

Apple Daily founder Jimmy Lai Chee-ying received a hero’s welcome when he returned to his office on Wednesday within hours of being released on police bail, pledging to keep the newspaper running, even as Beijing’s national security office in Hong Kong backed the operation arresting him and others.
“[We shall] continue. Let’s continue,” Lai said, when asked on his arrival to the Tseung Kwan O office what would happen to the newspaper. “We have the backing from Hongkongers and we should not let them down.”

Apple Daily confirmed on Wednesday that it had sold at least 500,000 copies of the tabloid-style newspaper on Tuesday. Its daily circulation is typically around 70,000.
They were released on hefty cash bail on Tuesday evening and in the small hours of Wednesday morning after police decided not to lay charges for now. Lai paid a HK$200,000 cash bail and a HK$300,000 surety.

Now that he has been released he might as well just escape to the US as soon as possible on some private jet.
