Advocates urge Trump to push for Jimmy Lai release
Advocates are calling on President Donald Trump to demand the release of Jimmy Lai during an upcoming summit with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
The request comes as President Trump prepares to host Xi Jinping at the White House in late September. Advocates suggest that Trump use the meeting to push for the release of Lai, a prominent Catholic media tycoon and pro-democracy campaigner from Hong Kong who is currently in prison.
